  abstract: New York Times-bestselling author Peter Turchi examines how the more intricate mechanics of storytelling can create powerful effects. Using examples from a diverse array of voices such as Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, Adam Johnson, Mohsin Hamid, Rachel Cusk, Colson Whitehead and Mark Twain, Turchi offers illuminating insights into the inner workings of great fiction and practical advice for writers looking to explore their craft from a fresh angle, beyond the fundamentals of character, setting, plot and scene.
