Book Reviews of Writing Life Stories
Book Review: A wonderful book about the craft and discipline of writing.
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Writing Life Stories is also a book about turning "memories into memoirs" and "ideas into essays," it is mostly a book about turning "life into literature." It should be read by poets, fiction writers, nonfiction writers, and writing teachers alike. Roorbach's approach begins simply, forgivingly, and grows more complex and demanding as the book develops. There is something here for everyone, especially for those of us who teach creative writing. Highly highly recommended!
