Learning a Trade: A Craftsman's Notebooks: 1955-1997 Hardcover - 1998
by Reynolds Price
"Learning A Trade" presents what Reynolds Price calls the "ongoing minutes" of his effort to learn his craft. This volume not only allows the reader to hear the author's internal dialogue on the hundreds of questions that must have turned and mulled during the planning and writing of a novel, but also creates its own compelling narrative. 5 illustrations.
From the rear cover
"We have in this fine book a coincidence most fortunate for would-be writers and fellow professionals such as myself: A compulsive keeper of journals over many years who is widely appreciated as one of the most capable authors of this century.
Reynolds Price's life, while as unique as his thumbprint, turns out here to be a strikingly general anatomy of virtually every good writer's artistic development from childhood on. I would not have thought that generalizations about growth in such a complex profession were plausible--until this meticulous dissection was shown to me."--Kurt Vonnegut
