Summary:
"Where do writers learn their best moves? They use a technique that Roy Peter Clark calls
X-ray
reading
, a form of
reading
that lets you penetrate beyond the surface of a text to see
how
meaning is actually being made. In THE
ART
OF
X-RAY
READING
, Clark invites you to don
your
X-ray
reading
glasses and join him on a guided tour through some of the most exquisite and masterful literary
works
of all time, from The
Great
Gatsby to Lolita to The Bluest Eye, and many more. Along the way, he shows you
how
to mine these masterpieces for invaluable
writing
strategies that you can add to
your
arsenal and apply in
your
own
writing
. Once you've experienced
X-ray
reading
,
your
writing
will
never be the same again."--From publisher.
