A Self Made of Words

In this ingenious little guide, essayist Carl Klaus shows you how to adapt your self to the needs of varied non-fiction, by varying his own persona to illustrate the distinctive effect produced by each aspect and element of writing. Klaus divides his book into two parts: an introduction to the nature and function of a persona, then a survey of the most important elements of writing that contribute to the character of a persona, from point of view and organisation to diction and sentence structure.
