Publisher's Synopsis
Writing as exploratory rather than formulaic
The Curious Writer reads not like a textbook nor a set of guidelines for composing essays. Instead, it encourages you to suspend judgment, ask questions, and seek answers, much like academics do. It covers genres beyond the academic essay -- narrative, profile, review, ethnography, and argument -- with a personality lacking in similar resources. By acting on your own curiosities, you'll develop the habits of mind necessary to become a critical thinker, reader, and writer. Featuring two new co-authors, the 6th edition brings genre and reflection to center stage and adds a series of new readings on climate change demonstrating writing approaches by genre.
