READING: A POETICS TOO FOR THE NOVEL


I'm newly a fan of Claire Messud. Wowed by the first novel by her that I read, The Woman Upstairs. Just finished and wallow-loved The Emperor's Children though I felt the ending could have been improved (lookit me going all crit when I've yet to finish my own first novel!). Anyway, off to check out her other books -- there's something in her approach that I feel will help my own novel-writing. Yes, this is how I learn to write anything, including poetry. By reading.
