Draft No. 4
Author: John McPhee
Publisher: Farrar, Straus & Giroux
ISBN: 0374142742
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary author and teacher Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer’s craft. In a series of playful, expertly wrought essays, John McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his career and has refined while teaching at Princeton University, where he has nurtured some of the most esteemed writers of recent decades. McPhee offers definitive guidance in the decisions regarding arrangement, diction, and tone that shape nonfiction pieces, and he presents extracts from his work, subjecting them to wry scrutiny. In one essay, he considers the delicate art of getting sources to tell you what they might not otherwise reveal. In another, he discusses how to use flashback to place a bear encounter in a travel narrative while observing that “readers are not supposed to notice the structure. It is meant to be about as visible as someone’s bones.” The result is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from reporting to drafting to revising—and revising, and revising. Draft No. 4 is enriched by multiple diagrams and by personal anecdotes and charming reflections on the life of a writer. McPhee describes his enduring relationships with The New Yorker and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and recalls his early years at Time magazine. Throughout, Draft No. 4 is enlivened by his keen sense of writing as a way of being in the world.

Connections to World War Ii
Author: Eugene G. Schulz
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669855554
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
In October 2012, I published my memoir, with photos, about my life in the US Army during World War II. The name of that book is The Ghost in General Patton’s Third Army. Several readers of the book were astonished to find a photo of their family member, or to read about an event that I experienced. These readers suddenly had a “connection” to me and they personally visited me to get more information about their grandfather or other relative. They told me more fascinating stories about that person so I felt compelled to write this sequel with new stories. The summit of my life story is told in the final chapter, in which the French government celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of Chartres. At a special ceremony in September 2019, I was awarded the Medal of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor, France’s highest award for merit.
