Books by Myra Schneider

Myra Schneider's new collection brings a fresh sense of reality to some well-known images. Colour is the keynote of the book, moving through Matisse, Hockney, Chagall; sound too, in Mahler and Beethoven. Often we find skin-deep assumptions turned around.

Suitable for those interested in exploring personal material in their writing, this book examines how a range of successful writers approach personal material and the different modes and techniques they use. It focuses on a range of universal experiences including childhood, identity, adult relationships and loss.
