Books about writing fiction?

[edit]

I'm unfamiliar with Zinsser's complete ouevre, but was surprised to find the category category:Authors of books about writing fiction. The one book of his I've read (On Writing Well) and the titles of other mentioned on the page, are or seem to be about writing and editing nonfiction. This would benefit from the intervention of a knowledgeable editor. -- Deborahjay 06:16, 9 November 2007 (UTC)" [reply]

"Protestant"

[edit]

   Calling him protestant on the basis of the cited material could constitute libel against him.
   In any case, he says only that he had (some) proddy ancestors, and it was them he joked about the potential for giving offense to, in the course of presenting the surrealist evocation of a silent and passive priest.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerzy (talkcontribs) 09:11, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
