They use a technique that Roy Peter Clark calls X-ray reading, a form of reading that lets you penetrate beyond the surface of a text to see how meaning is actually being made. In THE ART OF X-RAY READING, Clark invites you to don your X-ray reading glasses and join him on a guided tour through some of the most exquisite and masterful literary works of all time, from the Great Gatsby to Lolita to The Bluest Eye, and many more. Along the way, he shows you how to mine these masterpieces for invaluable writing strategies that you can add to your arsenal and apply in your own writing. Once you've experienced X-ray reading, your writing will never be the same again. --Publisher   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.042 Cl Lost 01/10/2017 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Clark Lost 05/09/2018 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
