About the author

Charles Baxter

Baxter has written novels and stories for decades, The Feast of Love among them, but a good many writers know him first for the craft books. Burning Down the House and The Art of Subtext argue for what a story declines to say: the pause, the thing under the dialogue, the scene that means something other than its content.
