Mr. Potato Head vs. Freud: Lessons on the Craft of Writing Fiction

Clint McCown, the only two-time winner of the American Fiction Prize, delivers ten powerful essays on writing fiction, from getting started to dealing with writer's block. "As its title should suggest, it's impossible to read Clint McCown's Mr. Potato Head vs. Freud without laughing. McCown's wit makes this the rarest of books on the craft of fiction: one that is as entertaining as it is instructive." (David Jauss) "Plainspoken, heartfelt, hilarious and absolutely whip-smart, Mr. Potato Head vs. Freud is the book on writing we've needed for a long time." (Bret Lott)
