Three Genres: Writing Fiction/Literary Nonfiction, Poetry, and Drama (8th Edition) Customer Review: Comes in quite handy
A required text (and the main one too) for my first Creative Writing class, Three Genres does just what it advertises: analyzes, dissects, and discusses the aspects of writing and reading fiction/non-fiction, poetry, and drama. Written and compiled by Professor Stephen Minot, Three Genres serves as a very handy assistant to getting started in writing your own material, mainly thanks to Minot analyzing various stories and poems and dissecting them to the last detail. Minot also further delves into avoiding the pitfalls that plague newbie writers, which is in fact the most helpful part of the textbook. Of the various stories and poems collected here, there is material from Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Shakespeare, John Updike, and Carole Oles among others; which nicely display the varying forms of literature and what one needs to tackle each genre of writing. All in all, for aspiring writers, Three Genres is a helpful and handy guide to get your feet off the ground, and should definitely be checked out by anyone and everyone interested in a career in writing.
