"William Zinsser turns his zest, warmth and curiosity--his sharp but forgiving eye--on his own story. The result is lively, funny and moving, especially for anyone who cares about art and the business of writing well."
--Evan Thomas, Newsweek
In Writing Places, William Zinsser--the author of On Writing Well, the bestseller that has inspired two generations of writers, journalists, and students--recalls the many colorful and instructive places where he has worked and taught. Gay Talese, author of A Writer's Life, calls Writing Places, "Wonderful," while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette praises this unique memoir for possessing "all the qualities that Zinsser believes matter most in good writing--clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity."
Go behind the scenes of a legendary writing life and discover:
- The Craft of Writing: Go beyond the rules of On Writing Well and see how Zinsser's principles of clarity, brevity, and humanity were forged through decades of practice.
- Journalism History: Step into the smoke-filled city room of the legendary New York Herald Tribune and meet the unforgettable characters who shaped American journalism in the postwar era.
- The Freelance Writer: Travel with Zinsser and his trusty Olivetti typewriter, from London and the South Seas to a solitary billiard house, and learn what it takes to survive life outside the newsroom.
- Teaching Writing: Sit in on Zinsser's celebrated nonfiction workshop at Yale, where he mentored a new generation of writers and discovered what it truly means to be a teacher.
