Words Made Flesh contains six essays by the award-winning fiction writer David Jauss, each of which challenges current reigning dogmas about the craft of fiction. As in his previous collection, Alone with All that Could Happen, Jauss takes a descriptive rather than a prescriptive approach to his subjects. Whereas many craft books tell writers what they should do, Words Made Flesh describes what great writers of the past and present have actually done and thus expands our understanding of the vast panorama of valid techniques and strategies available to fiction writers today.
