{"product_id":"write-it-right-a-little-ambrose-bierce-9781530798742","title":"Write it right, a little blacklist of literary faults. By Ambrose Bierce","description":"Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (June 24, 1842 - circa 1914 was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He wrote the short story \"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge\" and compiled a satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto \"Nothing matters\", and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the nickname \"Bitter Bierce\". Despite his reputation as a searing critic, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including the poets George Sterling and Herman George Scheffauer and the fiction writer W. C. Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. His style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, impossible events, and the theme of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambrose Bierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1530798744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781530798742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Ambrose Bierce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850364236031,"sku":"9781530798742","price":8.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/write-it-right-a-little-ambrose-bierce-9781530798742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
