Overview| Organized alphabetically by author, A Closer Look is a composition reader that features 84 essays by 21 of the most important writers of our time. The focus of the book's substantial apparatus is on writing itself, the choices writers make in developing essays and making arguments. As its title suggests, A Closer Look encourages students to look ever more closely at writing, especially multiple pieces of writing by the same author, and to use writing itself as a way of looking more closely at ideas and information. It is the only “authors in-depth” composition reader with a consistent rhetorical focus. |
