“In clear, charming prose, novelist Boswell delivers a
satisfying exploration of the craft of writing fiction.”
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“The Half-Known World is both brilliant
and helpfulto readers and fellow writers alike. This book on fiction
writing avoids every form of technojargon and brings its subject matter back to
where we live, to how we live, and to what we know (and can never know). It’s
rare for contemporary criticism to have moments of grace and beauty, but this
book has many, which is what anyone might expect from a writer as accomplished
and humane as Robert Boswell.”
