A worthwhile addition to any literature lover or student's library
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
When taking my first Creative Writing class, A Writer's Country was one of the required texts I had to pick up. As it says on it's cover, A Writer's Country is a collection of fiction and poetry by some reknowned authors. James Joyce, Sharon Olds, Anne Sexton, Emily Dickinson, William Faulkner, Langston Hughes, Tobias Wolff, Ernest Hemmingway, Stephen Crane, Anton Chekov, Flannery O'Connor, and Robert Frost are among the authors whose works have been compiled here by editors Jeff Knorr and Tim Schell, and there are even some brief biographies in the back of the book to boot. The only real downside for A Writer's Country is the price, which for what you get here may seem a little steep, but generally speaking you can find this text for cheaper. That aside, this can serve as a handy reference guide for literature lovers or aspiring writers, and it's a worthwhile addition to either's library.
