LJ Reviews 2017 April #2
A Pulitzer Prize winner in general nonfiction, George Polk Career Award winner, and longtime staff writer at The New Yorker, McPhee continues to define American journalism today; many of the students who have taken his course at Princeton have gone on to significant roles in media. Here, McPhee gathers everything he's learned from decades of writing and teaching to analyze the writing process.

In the tradition of William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White, who enlivened modern writing with The Elements of Style, McPhee (Encounters with the Archdruid) has set the standard for the genre of creative nonfiction. In this collection of essays, previously published in The New Yorker, McPhee reflects on his experience writing long-form nonfiction books and magazine articles. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who started at Time magazine, draws insights into the writing process from his career at The New Yorker and teaching writing at Princeton University. With humor and aplomb, he recalls anecdotes about how he approached a story: from interviewing and reporting to drafting and revising, to working with editors and publishers. These essays reveal how his personal experiences and observations informed and shaped his groundbreaking prose.
