A wonderful book that is very informative as well as educational. It will increase your enjoyment of reading fiction, as well as point out the areas where you may need to improve your own "reading quotient" for better understanding. My weak point? Shakespeare. Long, long ago, I remember reading Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet - and possible King Lear - but what I remember from that exposure is limited.
This book points up techniques that almost every writer at the Critique Circle seems to be missing. Underlying form and structure. Everyone always tries to be new and fresh, but some inclusion of universal symbols would drastically improve everyone's writing - my own included.
