Overview: The long-awaited book about the craft of creative writing from Steve Almond, beloved teacher, mentor, and author.From the acclaimed author of twelve books of fiction and nonfiction, including  All the Secrets of the World  and the  New York Times  bestsellers  Candyfreak  and  Against Football,  comes a craft book that is at once irreverent and iconoclastic.   In  Truth is the Arrow ,  Mercy is the Bow , Steve Almond employs the radical empathy he displayed as co-host (with Cheryl Strayed) of the podcast  Dear Sugars  to explore the joys and trials of storytelling, and to explode the myths that hold us back from writing our deepest and truest work. The book includes chapters on plot, character, and chronology, but travels far beyond the earnest intentions of most craft books. It includes essays on humor, sex, writer’s block, and the dividends of failure, as well as prompts to generate new work and a rollicking Frequently Asked Questions section. You’ll never think about writing the same way again.
