Book Description

이미 5번째 개정판이 나온 윌리엄 진저의 [On Writing Well] 출간 30주년 기념판. 1976년 첫 출간 이후 7십만 부가 팔린, 작문에 대한 책 중 고전이라 할 수 있다. 저자가 예일 대학에서 가르치던 경험과 프리랜서 작가, 편집인 등을 거치면서의 노하우 등이 잘 녹아 있는 책으로 여러 작가나 저널리스트, 교사, 학생들에게 좋은 반응을 얻었다. 개정판답게 논픽션을 쓰는 것에 있어서 새로운 경향이나 흐름을 적절히 소개하고, 독자의 요구에 잘 맞는 조언을 제공한다. 특히 인터뷰, 여행 기사, 회고, 과학이나 기술에 관한 글, 비즈니스, 스포츠, 예술 등 분야에 맞는 글쓰기의 원칙을 제시하고, 예를 제시하며 설명하고 있어 쉽게 이해할 수 있다.

Whether you write an occasional professional letter or a daily newspaper column, William Zinsser's On Writing Well should be required reading. Simplicity is Zinsser's mantra: he preaches a stripped-down writing style, strong and clear. He has no patience for excess (most use of adjectives and adverbs, he writes, just adds clutter) or tired phraseology (for instance, he'd like to outlaw all leads involving those "future archaeologists" most often found "stumbl[ing] upon the remains of our civilization"). He recommends that all writers of nonfiction read their work aloud (don't commit something to paper that you wouldn't actually say) and write under the assumption that "the reader knows nothing" (not to be confused with assuming the reader's an idiot). In addition to the chapters on the expected--usage, audience, interviews, leads--Zinsser also focuses on such trouble spots as science and technical writing, business writing, sports, and humor.
