How to Write a Sentence

And How to Read One

by Stanley Fish

Fish argues that the building blocks of writing are sentences, and that if you want to write a good one, you first have to learn how to read it. An approach to close reading, but instead of attending to literary illusions, you listen to the rhythm, structure, and art of the sentences themselves.
