Join the Diana Wynne Jones Adult Book Club as we discuss "Reflections: On the Art of Writing":
This collection of more than twenty-five critical essays, speeches, and biographical pieces chosen by Diana Wynne Jones before her death in 2011 is essential reading for the author's many fans and for students and teachers of the fantasy genre and creative writing in general. The volume includes insightful literary criticism alongside autobiographical anecdotes, revelations about the origins of the author's books, and reflections about the life of an author and the value of writing for young people. Reflections features the author's final interview, a foreword by award-winning author Neil Gaiman, and an introduction by Charlie Butler, a senior lecturer in English at the University of West England in Bristol.
The discussion will be in two parts- Part I on May 22nd and Part II on June 26th. BPL has both print and ebook copies available of this book.
Pre-registration required. A Zoom link will be sent an hour before the discussion.
