Description
Benjamin Percy's first book of nonfiction explores how literary and genre fiction can coexist. In fifteen essays on the craft of fiction, he challenges traditional notions of what makes a 'literary' writer.
Percy draws on diverse sources to examine key elements of plot, suspense, momentum, and character development in contemporary writing. He shares anecdotes, advice, and close readings from his own academic experience and observations of writers such as Michael Chabon and Cormac McCarthy.
The result is a thought-provoking missive on craft that encourages readers to 'thrill the reader' with engaging fiction. With its unique blend of analysis and practical guidance, Thrill Me offers valuable insights for anyone looking to improve their writing skills.
