Riassunto

In A Writer's Companion, Louis D. Rubin, Jr., has drawn on his years of accumulated wisdom - as well as the advice of some fifty prominent writers from various fields - to put together in a single volume a vast array of information. Organized in such a way as to make it exceptionally easy to use, and enhanced by Rubin's graceful and witty prose, A Writer's Companion will merit a place on the desk of every serious wordsmith. It is also a book that will bring endless hours of pleasure to anyone who enjoys reading simply for the sake of gaining new knowledge. As Casey Stengel said, "You could look it up."
