Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "The nearly seventy short essays in A MANNER OF BEING--by some of the best contemporary writers from around the world--pay homage to mentors who enlighten, push, encourage, and sometimes hurt, fail, and limit their protégés. The essays speak of teachers encountered in the schoolhouse and on farms, in NYC and in MFA programs; of sages who show up exactly when needed, offering comfort, a steadying hand, a commiseration, a dose of tough love. Rich with anecdotes from the heartfelt to the salacious, this collection offers gems of writing advice and guidance for how to live the writing life in a world that all too often doesn't care whether you write or not. Each contribution is intimate and distinct--yet throughout them all runs a common theme: mentors model a manner of being." [publisher copy] Includes Mary Gaitskill on an Ann Arbor bookstore owner, Noy Holland and Sam Lipsyte on Gordon Lish, George Saunders on Douglas Unger and Tobias Wolff, Tobias Wolff on John L'Heureux, Christine Schutt on Elizabeth Hardwick, Sheila Heti on 'Rox, Padgett Powell on Donald Barthelme, dozens more. "A collection of snapshots from the past few decades documenting how a variety of writers have found or been given guidance from other writers, both in and out of writing programs. Many different approaches are represented here, from line editors to more mystic sages, from teachers turned life coaches to teachers who did most of their work in the classroom or campus office. In gathering these tributes to mentors, this volume gives us some idea not so much of what students look for in a teacher, but of what they remember, and why it's important to them."--Peter Turchi. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
