Better readers make better writers.Today’s students do read—we know that they read a significant amount of email, text messages, web pages, and even magazines. What many do not do is read in a sustained way. Many do not come to college prepared to read long texts, nor do they come with the tools necessary to analyze and synthesize what they read. Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse have proven in their own teaching that when you improve students’ ability and interest in reading, you will help them improve their writing.Bringing writers to students, brings students to writing. Craft and Voice is an innovative new Introductory Literature program designed to engage students in the reading of Literature, all with a view to developing their reading, analytical, and written skills. Accompanied by, and integrated with, video interviews of dozens of living authors who are featured in the text, conducted by authors Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse specifically for use with their textbook, the book provides a living voice for the literature on the page and creates a link between the student and the authors of great works of literature. The first text of its kind, Craft and Voice offers a more enjoyable and effective reading experience through its fresh, inviting design and accompanying rich video program.
Nicholas Delbanco Bücher
Nicholas Delbancos Fiktion und Sachbücher erforschen tiefgründig die Komplexität der Identität, oft inspiriert von seinem eigenen doppelten kulturellen Erbe. Seine Erzählungen verweben europäische Wurzeln mit einer amerikanischen Verankerung und untersuchen Themen der Entfremdung und der Suche nach Zugehörigkeit über Kontinente hinweg. Delbancos Prosa zeichnet sich durch ihren aufschlussreichen Blick auf die menschliche Psyche aus und fängt gekonnt die subtilen Nuancen interkultureller Begegnungen ein. Seine Werke zeugen von dem andauernden Einfluss von Herkunft und Reise auf die Gestaltung unserer Weltanschauung.
