Laying bare the intricate process of storytelling Mc Dermott shares her invaluable advice on the subtleties of writing blending the practical with the profound in What About the Baby? Mc Dermott also serves throughout as the artful conductor of a literary chorus quoting generously from the work of other great writers (including Tolstoy Shakespeare Nabokov Morrison and Woolf ) beautifully joining her voice with theirs. These stories of lessons learned and books read and of the terrors and the joys of what she calls this mad pursuit form a rich and valuable sourcebook for readers and writers alike: a deeply charming meditation on the unique gift that is literature. Enshrouded in a layer of wisdom humor and an undying passion for literature What About the Baby? is an engaging exploration of the art of literary creation. This book's insightful narrative is a not - to - be - missed journey for anyone enticed by the magic of the written word.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: What About The Baby?
