About this book

Excerpts from novels by writers, giving their comments on what they wanted to achieve. For example, in How to Tell a True War Story, a novel on the horror and grandeur of war, Tim O'Brien sought "to arrive at some kind of spiritual truth that one can't discover simply by recording the world-as-it-is."
