How To Write Fiction (And Think About It)
The University of Iowa’s Writer’s Workshop is the oldest and most prestigious graduate writing programme in the USA. Graduates of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop include Flannery O’Connor, Raymond Carver, John Irving and Jane Smiley. Philip Roth taught there in the 1960s, and it was at Iowa that Walter Tevis wrote the story he later expanded into The Hustler.
