Some of these essays on craft were excellent, some really missed the mark for me. The degree to which any single essay in this collection will work for any single reader has a lot to do with what that reader already knows about writing, what she still struggles with, and how she connects with the personal aspects of the individual essay in question. That's why some of them seemed wonderful to me and others tedious. Other readers may react precisely oppositely. Recommended. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In The Hidden Machinery, critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author Margot Livesey offers a masterclass for those who love reading literature and for those who aspire to write it. Through close readings, arguments about craft, and personal essay, Livesey delves into the inner workings of fiction and considers how our stories and novels benefit from paying close attention to both great works of literature and to our own individual experiences. Her essays range in subject matter from navigating the shoals of research to creating characters that walk off the page, from how Flaubert came to write his first novel to how Jane Austen subverted romance in her last one. As much at home on your nightstand as it is in the classroom, The Hidden Machinery will become a book readers and writers return to over and over again.

This barely had advice, it was basically just about authors this author loves and hmwhy they are awesome (with many spoilers). There is little relevant advice and I found myself falling asleep while trying to read this. ( )
