Building Fiction by Jesse Lee Kercheval

No one looks at structure like Jesse Lee Kercheval. She builds a work of fiction just as an architect would design a house with an eye for details and how all parts of a story or novel interconnect. Even with the most dynamic language, images, and characters, no piece of fiction will work without a strong infrastructure. Kercheval shows how to build that structure using such tools as point of view, characterization, pacing, and flashbacks. Building Fiction will help you envision the landscape of your fiction and build great stories there.

Jesse Lee Kercheval grew up in Florida after being born in France. She's written thirteen books of poetry, fiction, and memoir, including the novels The Museum of Happiness and My Life as a Silent Movie, as well as the writing text Creating Fiction. She is the Sally Mead Hands Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she teaches creative writing.
