Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the parallel concepts in Architecture and Literature where writers are the architects of language, designing their narratives brick by brick, and giving care and consideration to each individual word as well as their collective purpose and meaning. Bridglall examines Hass, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Hemingway, amongst many others.
