Character

The Art of Role and Cast Design for Page, Stage, and Screen

By: Robert McKee

Narrated by: Robert McKee

The long-awaited third volume of Robert McKee’s trilogy on the art of fiction.

Following up his perennially bestselling writers' guide Story and his inspiring exploration of the art of verbal action in Dialogue, the most sought-after expert in the storytelling brings his insights to the creation of compelling characters and the design of their casts.

CHARACTER explores the design of a character universe: The dimensionality, complexity and arcing of a protagonist, the invention of orbiting major characters, all encircled by a cast of service and supporting roles.

Powerful book for any writer

I know I will re-listen to this a couple of times the coming years.

Quite comprehensive and well read and written. Perhaps I would have had fewer lists of one sort or another. Otherwise great stuff.
