A Spectator Best Book of the Year 'This book is a wry, critical friend to both writer and reader. It is filled with cogent examples and provoking statements. You will agree or quarrel with each page, and be a sharper writer and reader by the end.' Hilary Mantel 'There are three rules for writing a novel,' Somerset Maugham once said.
