Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy: Advice and Confessions on Writing, Love, and Cannibals by Dinty W. Moore
4.0
'Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy: Advice and Confessions on Writing, Love, and Cannibals' by Dinty W. Moore is a series of questions and answers on a variety of subjects told with some kind of hilarious results.
The book is laid out like an advice column for writers with various questions sent in by famous writers and the answers all being told in the form of various essays. The humor is clever. There is wordplay and lists. There is one essay told with Google map locations (you can look it up in google maps as well). One of my favorites was told with the ubiquitous creativity tool: the cocktail napkin.
I really enjoyed this humorous book about writing. I wasn't as familiar with all the author's mentioned, but that doesn't detract from the fun. And I learned all about Montaigne's obsession with cannibalism along the way.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Ten Speed Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
