How to Write Like Tolstoy: A Journey into the Minds of Our Greatest Writers by Richard A. Cohen
5.0
This was such a fun read. You don’t need to be an aspiring writer to enjoy it either, and I did wonder about the title, because the book is less of a guide than the title would suggest.
Overall I loved the quips, the showcase of the good, the bad, and the effectively broken rule, as well as the sense of how writing grew through the ages.
I am a reader of almost all genres, and this book has brought new appreciation for what I love about stories and the work that writers put in to give it to us.
