Book excerpt: For the first time, National Book Award-winner Walter Wangerin, Jr., turns his keen eye upon the craft of writing. By adding a lifetime of experience to the wisdom and examples of other writers (Shakespeare, Goethe, Berry, Chaucer, and many more), he builds for us an intricate picture of the craft and its subtlties. But in revealing his personal missteps, his own processes, and his own story, Wangerin provides lampposts for young writers as they embark on the long road toward mastery.Through practical advice, ethical considerations, and a master's definition of art itself, Wangerin draws us all closer to what it means to write--and to write well.
