Title: I confess ...
Product review: Before reading this book, I read "Creative Nonfiction: Researching and Crafting Stories of Real Life" by the same author. I found "Creative Nonfiction" terrible. "Writing ... Makes a Difference" is only slightly better, which is sad because I believe the author wrote this book with the best intention. I find it disturbing that an author who teaches writing can write a book with parts that I and some rather more enlightened friends than me could read and absorb nothing.There were bits, especially in the second half, which were lucid and insightful. However, these rare moments cannot prevent Philistines like myself from finding this book disappointing, particularly given its promising title.I would rather recommend books by William Zinsser - a better use of limited, and therefore, precious time.
