Lädt ... Dogs Bark, but the Caravan Rolls On: Observations Then and Nowvon Frank Conroy
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A "superb blend of personal essays and journalistic articles" on everything from fatherhood to writing workshops to jazz musicians (Chicago Sun-Times). "At once subtle and dazzling," these pieces--collected from such publications as Esquire, Harper's Magazine, and GQ--serve as both a wide-ranging journey through topics like art and music and an autobiographical look into the life of one of our most acclaimed literary figures, the author of such books as Stop-Time and Body & Soul and a director of the renowned Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa (Publishers Weekly). "[An] interesting and well-done anthology. Conroy takes on such topics as learning to play pool, fatherhood, the value of now-disappearing small towns in instilling family values, the enthusiasms of jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, and, of course, the Writers' Workshop." --Library Journal "Highly enjoyable and illuminating . . . Dogs Bark is simply one of the best books published in a long, long time." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I learned about jazz, about music in general. I learned about the Iowas Writers Workshop, what they are trying to do and how they are trying to do it. It was, alas, a short book, but it made me a more knowledgable person. It made me appreciate life. It made me excited about things I never thought I would be interested in, and I am excited about writing. What more can you ask for from a book? (
