A Stellar Host Of Writers Explore The Cornerstone Of Fiction Writing: Character. The Book Of Other People Is About Character. Twenty-five Or So Outstanding Writers Have Been Asked By Zadie Smith To Make Up A Fictional Character. By Any Measure, Creating Character Is At The Heart Of The Fictional Enterprise, And This Book Concentrates On Writers Who Share A Talent For Making Something Recognizably Human Out Of Words (and, In The Case Of The Graphic Novelists, Pictures). But The Purpose Of The Book Is Variety: Straight Realism-if Such A Thing Exists-is Not The Point. There Are As Many Ways To Create Character As There Are Writers, And This Anthology Features A Rich Assortment Of Exceptional Examples. The Writers Featured In The Book Of Other People Include: Aleksandar Hemon; Nick Hornby; Hari Kunzru; Toby Litt; David Mitchell; George Saunders; Colm Toibin; Chris Ware, And More.
