✦ Synopsis

From the bestselling author of the National Book Award winner Let the Great World Spin comesa lesson in how to be a writer—and so much more than that.
Intriguing and inspirational, this book a call to look outward rather than inward. McCann asks his readers to constantly push the boundaries of experience, to see empathy and wonder in the stories we craft and hear.
A paean to the power of language, both by argument and by example, Letters to a Young Writer is fierce and honest in its testament to the bruises delivered by writing as both a profession and a calling. It charges aspiring writers to learn the rules and even break them.
These fifty-two essays are ultimately a profound challenge to a new generation—whether young or old—to bring truth and light to a dark world through their art.
