Résumé
"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, NewsweekIn 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."More than a memoir, this is a masterclass in the writing life, taught through the unforgettable places where a master honed his craft. Journalism History: Step into the smoke-filled city room of the legendary New York Herald Tribune in its 1950s heyday, a world of mavericks, oddballs, and gruff men in fedoras.
The Freelance Writer's Life: Discover the lonely but liberating world of a freelance writer, from an office with a fire pole to travels with an Olivetti typewriter for magazines like Life and The Saturday Evening Post. Teaching Writing: Go inside the halls of Yale University as Zinsser finds a new calling and develops the principles that would become his most famous work. The Story of a Classic: Learn the surprising origin story of On Writing Well, the beloved guide that grew from a Yale classroom to help generations find clarity, simplicity, and humanity in their own work.
