Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary author and teacher John McPhee.Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer's craft. John McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his long career, and has refined while teaching at Princeton University, where he has nurtured some of the most highly regarded writers of our time.

This book is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from reporting to drafting to revising - and revising and revising.Draft No. 4 is enriched by personal reflections on the life of a writer. McPhee recalls his early years at Time magazine, and describes his enduring relationships with The New Yorker and with his publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Everything in this luminous book is enlivened by his keen sense of writing as a way of being in the world. The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning author and teacher.
