The core dramatic unit of any novel is the scene. Writers use scenes to contain a novel's action and explore its characters. In this book, Raymond Obstfeld vibrantly explains every aspect of constructing these vital elements and shows how to apply those techniques to create specific types -- action scenes, comic scenes, sex scenes and more. He then reveals how to link these scenes to form powerful novels.
Writers of any type of fiction will find quick remedies to their prose woes with Obstfeld's unique exercises and his generous use of examples from contemporary novels and films.
