The lie that tells a truth.

The lie that tells a truth by John Dufresne is a book/workbook for improving the fiction writers skill. I adored this book and I have to say that it helped me improve my writing a great deal. I highly, highly recomend this book for any fiction writer, weather in the midsts of "writers block" or a veteran writer. It's a great book and I think most of you would enjoy it.
