Description
Discover the art of writing that follows the rhythms of nature. Jane Alison's insightful book explores the patterns and strategies that can be found in the natural world, and how they can be applied to fiction writing. For centuries, writers have been told to follow a traditional dramatic arc, but Alison argues that there are many other patterns at work in nature, waiting to be tapped. From the meandering paths of the natural world to the spirals of growth and the explosive power of creativity, Alison reveals the ways in which these patterns can be used to create new and innovative forms of writing. With a "museum of specimens" that includes the work of writers such as Nicholson Baker and Clarice Lispector, this book is a liberating manifesto that encourages writers to think outside the box and bring feeling back to experimentation.
