The book is pretty much autobiographical rather than being all about the craft, although it includes many wonderful things like his simile of a story being like a buried city that he is digging up. It's like having a long talk with him, and while there is little there to improve your writing (if that's what you're reading it for), there is encouragement to believe in yourself, and it is a terrific read. It was not what I expected, but I've read it three times and loved it.
