The Letters of Nicholas Delbanco and Jon Manchip White

Beschreibung

Nicholas Delbanco has assembled a highly crafted work based on over 30 years' correspondence with Jon Manchip White, a prolific author of screenplays, novels, and radio plays; a university professor; and a "bon vivant”. The letters range from light to serious; critiquing the authors' own work and that of colleagues; assessing the state of the writering profession; negotiating age, illness, and loss.
