This article presents information about the books "The Lure of the Pen," by Flora Klickmann; "If You Don't Write Fiction," by Charles Phelps Cushing and "A Plea for Popular Science," by Edwin E. Slosson. Miss Klickmann would lure few readers who would not profit from her remarks. The high school girl who writes of bloody murder and disappointed love, the idle wife who essays descriptive fiction because her friends assure her she writes charming letters, the heartbroken biographer of a deceased lapdog would find Miss Klickmann's book full of much needed, even if discouraging advice. Mr. Cushing has addresses a reading public of inexperienced young people who "want to write." |
