Synopsis

The scientist has the habit of science; the artist, the habit of art." ―Flannery O’Connor

In addition to being among the country’s most talented, prize-winning writers, the authors gathered in The Habit of Art also share a common bond as former members of the fiction workshop at Indiana University, which celebrates its first 25 years with the publication of this book.

Review:

The authors brazenly embrace intimacy and repulsion with alluring ease. Daring is the best description of the collection; engaging is the best reason for them to be read and shared. February 2, 2006 (NUVO)
