Краткое описание: In this, the eleventh edition of Paragraphs and Essays, the surf writer, gallantly perched on a pencil, once more celebrates the “flow of writing.” Like waves at a beach, writing is cyclical, moving forward and backward and forward again. The surf writer will always be searching for the “perfect wave,” meaning the best possible expression. The recursive movement of writing and rewriting is the essence of good writing. Instruction in this book - comprehensive, flexible, relevant, and stimulating - is predicated on that systematic, relentless revision.
