Description
John McPhee is the recipient of the 2017 Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award
'Followers of John McPhee, perhaps the most revered nonfiction narrative journalist of our time,
will luxuriate in the ship-shape prose of 'Draft No. 4' . . . Delightful . . . Interspersed with
observations every writer should remember . . . The last three chapters will be assigned and
reassigned by grateful writing teachers . . . I savored every word'―Corby Kummer, New York
Times Book Review'[Draft No. 4]'s combination of shop talk, war stories, slices of autobiography,
and priceless insights and lessons suggests what it must be like to occupy a seat in the McPhee
classroom . . . McPhee's observations about writing are always invigorating to engage with. And
Draft No. 4 belongs on the short shelf of essential books about the craft.' ―Ben Yagoda, The
Wall Street Journal'A sunny tribute to the gloomy side of the writing life . . . It's McPhee on
McPhee; commentary on his greatest hits, a little backstory, a little affectionate gossip . . . His
advice is in the service of making the text as sturdy, useful and beautiful as possible. It's an
intimate book―and intimacy is rare in McPhee's work . . . For most of his career, McPhee has
written reverently about . . . methodical, somewhat solitary men (mostly) who work with their hands
and take quiet pride in their work.' ―Parul Sehgal, The New York Times'A book that any writer,
aspiring or accomplished, could profitably read, study and argue with . . . For over half a century,
John McPhee―now 86―has been writing profiles of scientists, eccentrics and specialists of
every stripe. All are exceptional at what they do. So, too, is their discerning chronicler.' ―Michael
Dirda, The Washington Post'Draft No. 4 is as lean and punchy a book as anything McPhee wrote
in his thirties . . . The book's ostensible focus of imparting the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime
of writing blurs often and very enjoyably with reminiscences about McPhee's own long
apprenticeship in the craft . . . The star attraction here isn't the method but the man; readers who
go in knowing that will be endlessly fascinated―and may learn a good deal.' ―Steve
Donoghue, The Christian Science Monitor 'The beauty of Draft No. 4 lies partly in our watching
a master deconstruct the nearly invisible habits of his work. The result celebrates a life―probing,
colorful, singular―devoted to writing.' ―Joan Silverman, Portland Press Herald'Reading
[these essays] consecutively in one volume constitutes a master class in writing, as the author
clearly demonstrates why he has taught so successfully part-time for decades at Princeton
University. . . . Almost every sentence sparkles, with wordplay evident throughout. . . . Readers
already familiar with the author's masterpieces . . . will feel especially fulfilled by McPhee's

discussions of the specif
