A book about writing which dives into interesting concepts and toys with them rather than simply parroting the same things you might read in a hundred other places. The paperback has amazing illustrations but the audiobook has its own charms. It's broken up into extremely useful chapters and it's captivatingly told, rather than dry and academic. The narrators are fine.

A wonderful edition of a great book
