Arts EN ↓ Odcinki: 96

Do you want to get everything you ever wanted & live your best life? Then you're going to have to read hard, wide & free. Together, let's learn how to read & write by analysing the best works ever written, and then some. How do writers do it - keep readers turning the page until they finish the book or throw it across the room? Each episode looks at one book, its first line and a standout section where there's a lesson to be learned about writing. Dissecting writers' language, genre and how their work fits into a greater context can help us understand other people and ourselves. x
