{"product_id":"writing-through-writers-block-aaron-colton-9781685970321","title":"Writing Through Writer's Block: Lessons from Modern American Fiction","description":"Recent fiction is teeming with blocked writers: from John Updike's Henry Bech to Stephen King's Paul Sheldon and Mike Noonan. From David Foster Wallace's Mark Nechtr to the autofictional figures of Jordan Castro, Salvador Plascencia, Nam Le, Ben Lerner, Sheila Heti, and Andrew Martin. \u003ci\u003eWriting Through Writer's Block\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first book-length analysis of the archetype of the blocked writer. From the scenes of writer's block enacted in these fictions, we gather pedagogical lessons that are germane to writers of all kinds--creative and academic, advanced and novice--and particularly useful for the growing contingency of faculty whose teaching responsibilities lie in both literature and academic writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Colton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 168597032X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685970321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Aaron Colton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087403565311,"sku":"9781685970321","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ecd9b6b-e419-4ec5-9e0f-c21c08b7aaa9.jpg?v=1753849796","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-through-writers-block-aaron-colton-9781685970321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
