Overview"Jesse Lee Kercheval builds a work of fiction just as an architect would design a house - with an eye for details and how all parts of a story interconnect. Even with the most dynamic language, images and characters, no piece of fiction will work without a strong infrastructure. Kercheval shows how to build that structure using such tools as point of view, characterization, pacing and flashbacks. """"Building Fiction"""" is designed to help readers envision the landscape of their fiction and build great stories therein."
