Story
Intriguing and inspirational, this book is a call to look outward rather than inward. McCann asks his listeners 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 stories matter.

These Colum McCann read stories had to be written; and needed to be read out loud. They and their author are a blessing you've been given. Listening - you will taste savory, sweet and sour. Scrumptious. Listen; let these glorious fictions awaken you. WM
