Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In "Alone With All That Could Happen", award-winning author and respected creative writing professor David Jauss addresses overlooked and commonly misunderstood fiction-writing topics, offering practical information and advice that will help writers make smart, creative and technical decisions about such topics as: using autobiographic elements in fiction; manipulating narrative distance via point of view; taking advantage of the virtues of the present tense (and avoiding its vices); and, building a connected and inviting short story collection.In one thought-provoking chapter after another, Jauss sorts through unique fiction-writing conundrums, including how to write those exquisite quiet corners that resonate in all great works of fiction, where truth and fabrication intersect in a way that's far more powerful, far more telling than the obvious "write what you know" approach that's so often preached.
