"Examines the craft of creating relationships in fiction by taking us deep into the structure and grammar of intimacy as portrayed by Didion, Morrison, Lawrence, Woolf, Maxwell, and others. ... The Art of Intimacy : the Space Between is part of The Art of series, a line of books by important authors on the craft of writing, edited by Charles Baxter. Each book examines a singular, but often assumed or neglected, issue facing the contemporary writer of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. The Art of series is meant to restore the art of criticism while illuminating the art of writing."--P. [4] of cover.
