Teaching a Writing Masterclass

Using Marguerite Young's Magnum Opus

Marguerite Young commented in an interview that she would not live long enough to write a book about writing. She was being modest since her magnum opus was in itself a masterclass in writing. Inside Miss MacIntosh, My Darling the writer will find examples of every literary device used in writing.

Young also said that in a class for her degree the professor required them to read and analyze a book ten times. She read it ten more times than she would have liked but admitted it was a powerful tool to understanding the structure of a novel. It is up to the reader whether they would like to tackle her book multiple times. However, if a writer is interested in how Young pushed the boundaries of imagination and philosophy to explore the human condition, then this is the masterclass in writing you've been waiting for!
