Yesterday, in my novel workshop, I taught the first chapter of Edith Wharton’s Age of Innocence.

Now, as you may know, I love Wharton. I LOVE HER. Here, is me talking about her nonfiction book, The Writing of Fiction. I really don’t think you can get better than Edith. You can disagree,…

There are so many books I need to reread.

“Specifically, how Wharton was just like Franzen—an ambitious American author who strove to balance literary reach with public taste.”

Good point.
