Stanley Fish

Stanley Fish is one of America's most stimulating literary theorists. In this new book, he undertakes a profound reexamination of some of criticisms most basic assumptions.

In this entertaining and erudite New York Times bestseller, beloved professor Stanley Fish offers both sentence craft and sentence pleasure. Drawing on a wide range of great writers, from Philip Roth to Antonin Scalia to Jane Austen, How to Write a Sentence is much more than a writing manual—it is a spirited love letter to the written word, and a key to understanding how great writing works.
