Back Cover:
Kurt Vonnegut says
“I’ve worked with enough students to know what beginning writers are like,
and if they will just talk to me for twenty minutes I can help them so much,
because there are such simple things to know. Make a character want something
— that’s how you begin.”

William Rodney Allen teaches English at the Louisiana School for Math,
Science, and the Arts. He is the author of Walker Percy: The Southern Wayfarer.
