What they said about The 21st Century Screenplay_________________________ 'It’s a huge achievement, an incredibly comprehensive analysis of what the screenwriter does, of what can go right and what can go wrong and how to fix it when it does. I highly recommend it.’ Andrew Bovell, Lantana, Blessed, Edge of Darkness __________________________ ‘A brilliant book. Linda Aronson is one of the great and important voices on screenwriting.’ Dr Linda Seger, author of Making a Good Script Great ___________________________ ‘A VERY WONDERFUL book. I love the strategies for plumbing the unconscious story mind. There’s no other book that gives such an in-depth analysis of the “bone structure” for all these various kinds of narratives.’ - Robin Swicord, Little Women, The Jane Austen Book Club, Memoirs of a Geisha ___________________________ As a screenwriting teacher at New York University I recommend a broad spectrum of textbooks to my students. I tend to the view that most of these books offer something of value and each of them is essentially as good as the person who reads them. In the case of Linda Aronson’s work I make an exception. The 21st-Century Screenplay addresses areas not covered by others. The book provides the services of a personal script editor, dramaturg or even co-writer. It functions as a manual as well as a road map. Paul Thompson, New York University |
