Theodore Goodman

For tutors of creative writing, their students and all aspiring writers, this is an indispensable work. It distils the knowledge and experience gained from a long, illustrious teaching career, and offers a deep and practical insight into the creative process as well as a shrewd analysis of the techniques of fiction writing. A useful handbook for writers, The Writing of Fiction also provides a sensitive guide to the understanding of fiction for the general reader. Witty, perceptive and original in its approach, it explains and clarifies the how and the why of fiction.

Few are better qualified to write a book on this subject than Professor 'Teddy' Goodman, who for thirty years taught creative writing at the City College, New York. He numbers among the successful alumni of his courses such well-known writers as Alfred Kazin, Gilbert Millstein, William Gibson and Paddy Chayefsky.
