Thirteen Ways of Looking by Colum McCann

4.0

Clear, concise and deftly written. Evocative settings with real sensory experience: you feel the chill of the cold water off the coast of Galway and the muffled silence of the snow in New York. I picked up this book to see what McCann's writing was like as I am always reading his Letters to a Young Writer (when I get to the end, I simply start over again). I have a shelf full of books on writing, and this one is in my top 3. Sometimes you find good teachers who don't implement what they can impart...not in this case. I was not disappointed.
