Avi’s book on writing, A Beginning, A Muddle, and an End, is worth a read and a re-read.
A copy of Avi’s new writing book, a “fable” called A Beginning, A Muddle, and an End: The Right Way to Write Writing, arrived in the mail almost as soon as it was released. It was fun to be contacted by a publicist, but even more fun to read this delightful book.
If you’ve read The End of the Beginning, you’ve already met Avon the Snail and Edward the Ant, and you know you’re in for a treat. This time, the puns, wordplay and philosophy deal with writing, with a lot of succinct, thoughtful commentary on writing well.
Read the whole review, Avi Gives Advice on Writing, and then go out and get the book!
