Summary
With increased compression, every word, every sentence matters more. A writer must learn how to form narratives around caesuras and crevices instead of strings of connections, to move a story through the symbolic weight of images, to master the power of suggestion.
With elegant prose, deep readings of other writers, and scaffolded writing exercises, The Art of Brevity takes the listener on a lyrical exploration of compact storytelling, guiding listeners to heighten their awareness of not only what appears on the page but also what doesn't.

Irony personified
Ironically, as a book about brevity, this book felt so full of needless waffle. I learned nothing! What an awful waste of time and my money, I feel cheated in purchasing this "book"!
