The Practice of Writing by David Lodge
In his first critical work since the highly successful "The Art of Fiction" (0140174923), David Lodge writes principally about Grahame Greene, Kingsley Amis and James Joyce, and from there goes on to tackle two questions: the value of creative writing, and the task of dramatizing literary works for TV and the stage. He is uniquely qualified as a novelist, critic and academic to write this book, and approaches his subject with a fine wit and accessible style.
"Novelist, critic, professor, playwright, screenwriter--David Lodge has done it allAnd in this volume he displays it all." --The Boston Globe
David Lodge was for many years Professor of English at Birmingham University,where he still lives. As well his works of critical and literary theory, he has also published many bestselling novels, most recently THERAPY (0140253580).
