The Sound on the Page by Ben Yagoda

In writing, style matters. Our favorite writers often entertain, move, and inspire us less by what they say than by how they say it.

In The Sound on the Page, acclaimed author, teacher, and critic Ben Yagoda offers practical and incisive help for students on developing and discovering their own writing style and voice. This wonderfully rich and readable book features interviews with more than 40 of our most important authors discussing their literary style, including:Dave Barry * Harold Bloom * Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer * Bill Bryson * Michael Chabon * Andrei Codrescu * Junot Díaz * Adam Gopnik * Jamaica Kincaid * Michael Kinsley * Elmore Leonard * Elizabeth McCracken * Susan Orlean * Cynthia Ozick * Anna Quindlen * Jonathan Raban * David Thomson * Tobias Wolff
