Roy Peter Clark, one of America's most influential writing teachers, offers writing lessons we can draw from 25 great texts. Where do writers learn their best moves? They use a technique that Clark calls X-ray reading, a form of reading that penetrates beyond the surface to see how meaning is made. Clark invites readers to don X-ray reading glasses and explore literary works like The Great Gatsby, Lolita, and The Bluest Eye, revealing invaluable writing strategies to apply in your own work.
