Not the most relaxing read but worth it to appreciate the beauty of language and the weight of every single word in a piece of literature. She includes a reading list (“Books To Read Immediately”), from which I confess I've only read 5%. There are plenty of extracts from literary classics to illustrate what good writing is. And she makes me want to read Chekhov.
A book that merits a second, even a third, reading.
