As a High School student in Casper, Wyoming, 65 years ago, I had to write some essays which included drawing up a formal outline first and then letting the outline direct the writing process. I never could do that. I had to write first and then write the outline last. I got John McPhee's book "Draft No. 4. WOW, he talks about how to organize your work. His method is far superior to any that I have seen. This is the advice from the best writer and is what I should have been doing all along. The whole book is aimed at making writing easy and fun. The book is superb, but has ONE MAJOR FLAW. This book is 65 years too late.Don't tell McPhee this, but I am writing a SPEECH using his writing book as guidance. It makes the creative process fun.
This is a superbly written guide to writing creative non-fiction. It is also an entertaining memoir of McPhee's writing life, especially for The New Yorker magazine. Their are eight chapters, each formerly published in The New Yorker, on topics like Structure, Frame of Reference, and Omission, Many of these contain useful technical advice about writing creative non-fiction. All eight chapters contain interesting, and often humorous, personal anecdotes and observations. He even offers a little encouragement to writers trying to write.The book is 192 pages long and I wish it had been twice as long just so that I could have lingered in McPhee's enjoyable company. Fortunately he has published many other books that I will start re-reading now. Highly Recommended!
If you want to learn about a subject and how to master it, why not learn from someone at the top of their profession? John McPhee is a professor of journalism at Princeton, writes for The New Yorker and has published thirty books. As a guide to the writing process I found Draft No. 4 to be insightful, illuminating (without being pedantic) and helpful. McPhee’s writes with humility and humor without getting up on a high horse. I have written two non-fiction books and am looking to write more and his book has motivated me to pursue my projects with more vigor. I thought as a new writer that I was in a minority being overcome with self-doubt. McPhee explains that (in his view) real writers are those that doubt themselves and are often discouraged and in a state of despair. He points out that if you lack confidence and struggle with writing that you must be a real writer, and conversely if you describe yourself as someone who “loves to write,†that you are probably delusional. I’m not sure if he intended this to be humorous or not but I found it to ring true, (although I both love to write and struggle.)The subtitle of the book reflects the contents more accurately, “On the Writing Process,†although Draft No. 4 is catchier and refers to his suggested ratio of writing to editing, that is, his advice to get something down on paper and then keep editing. He states that he has a finished product after his fourth draft, although I normally do quite a few more revisions. In spots the book has a little bit of an inside baseball feel, although delightfully so if you love the written word, as he gives insights into what makes The New Yorker such an esteemed publication and the neverending tussle between a writer and copy editor.For me, the lasting parts of the book are the truisms that he identifies: even though you may write for only 2-3 hours a day, your mind is working 24 hours a day: while you are sleeping, driving, and puttering around your subconscious mind is looking for words or phrases to help your prose. Also, how he highlights or brackets words that aren’t exactly right and then goes back during editing and searches for more perfect words and for clarity. As he says, “. . . there is elegance in the less ambiguous way.†Draft No. 4 takes its place on my bookshelf next to my dictionary, Strunk & White, the Chicago Manual of Style and a thesaurus.Writing is a solitary and often lonely process and McPhee lets you know that you’ve got company. His book feels borderline illicit, like he is taking some of the mystery out of the writing process and he (thankfully) lets you in on some of the secrets. I wish it were longer than 192 pages, I could have devoured more.
John McPhee has been writing, and teaching writing, for decades. He ranks among the most capable and experienced writers in the world and richly deserves all the accolades heaped upon him. He also, in my experience, ranks among those rare and cherished correspondents who squeaks when squoken to: write to him, rationally, and this busy man answers, kindly.His new book, the most recent of more than thirty, is a primer on writing well, based significantly on the writing course he has been teaching at Princeton for many years. It includes scores of fascinating and insightful anecdotes based on his brave globe-trotting work in writing his signature long nonfiction, comprising articles (some for Time, mostly for The New Yorker) that were turned into books because of their length. He divides the work into logical sections and only his treatment of editing and final assembly, in this era of modern word processing, strikes a discordant note: 1980s technology has been far transcended in speed, cost and convenience.He delves deeply into the thorny fact-checking issue and here he scores brilliantly. The New Yorker devotes intense effort in this vital area. But McPhee fails the reader in one significant area of publication, which he claims undertakes scrupulous fact checking: The Atlantic. I can be quite specific. The Atlantic published a scathing review by the late Christopher Hitchens of Lord Jenkins’ biography of Winston Churchill. Hitchens, not always encumbered by facts, claimed, among other things, that Germany had no intention of invading England in the late 1930s and early 1940s. In fact (“fact checkingâ€) Hitler had created and funded Operation Sea Lion for just this purpose, and photoreconnaissance by British PRU (Photo Reconnaissance Unit) Spitfires showed more than 1,500 invasion vessels in the ports of Northern France. The Atlantic, advised of this gross factual error, did not deign even to reply, though the facts were available in scores of reliable places. You want to believe them today?The polished elegance of McPhee’s prose results from meticulous attention to detail, down to the simplest individual word usage. Just the process of reading this book will give any writer the true sense of verbal mastery, clarity of expression and the essential need to examine every word we write. McPhee is the eternal master and we are all his students.
