![]() Due to fierce contention and high quality of essays in the final round, instead of ten participants, the competition jury declared 15 contestants as winners: 3 Absolute, 8 Outstanding and 4 Excellent categories. Up to 750 students from various schools across Georgia participated in the competition, and 122 contestants advanced to the finale. On June 4, the award ceremony of the winners in the competition “I Write an Independent Essay 2022” took place at SEU. In Every Day I Write the Book, you see a writer and thinker in communion with other writers and thinkers: that is, in communion with the world of ideas." - Steven E.The Award Ceremony of the Winners in the Competition “I Write an Independent Essay 2022” 06 Jun, 2022 Ostensibly a how-to writing guide for scholars, this book is from a different mould, one aligned with the daring and the bold: that is, with the creative. "Kumar’s work effuses creative associations. The most amazing feature of this book is the sheer number of authors and ideas on writing that are collected in what Kumar calls, 'The 90-Day Book.'" - Gretchen Webster, Publishing Research Quarterly "An entertaining ramble through his years of analyzing his own writing process and that of many, many other authors. Graduate students, researchers, faculty." - A. This book will interest scholars in search of alternative models for presenting their ideas and those seeking insight into an academic’s writing life. "Kumar sets out to do for the academic writer what writers like Annie Dillard, Ursula Le Guin, Anne Lamott, and Stephen King do for the creative writer in their accounts of their own writing lives. Reading his newest is like having office hours-no, better a drink and bookish conversation, in a bar-with your smartest, kindest teacher, or friend." - John Francisconi, Grandlife "Kumar’s writing guide/commonplace book is a salve. That’s what Kumar does here." - Anthony Domestico, Commonweal The best way to argue that academic books can be formally inventive is to write a formally inventive academic book. Things don’t have to be this way, and Kumar, who is himself both a critic and a novelist, insists that scholarship should argue and inform but also surprise and delight. "Too often lively writing is taken as a sign of dilettantism. a celebration of 'the value, the ease, and also the excitement of crafting writing that hasn’t been produced to please a committee.' Grad students and tenure seekers will appreciate the support Kumar’s insightful and intellectually nimble book offers, even as they buckle down to the task at hand-satisfying that committee of readers." - Publishers Weekly An engaging, perceptive companion for all writers." - Kirkus Reviews "A guide for academic writers that is also relevant to anyone who cares about fine prose. Kumar instructs and inspires, running on all cylinders.” - Sven Birkerts Turning the pages we find ourselves riding shotgun through the reading and writing life of a true cosmopolitan intellectual. “Amitava Kumar's Every Day I Write the Book compels a cluster of adjectives-eclectic, ruminative, associative, probing, and personal-all of which, taken together, only begin to describe this unique writing sensibility. Full of pragmatic analyses and recommendations, this enthralling, important book will prove to be compelling and useful across many audiences.” - Robert Polito “ Every Day I Write the Book is a persuasive instance of the sort of rare nonfiction performance Amitava Kumar invokes within its pages he at once defines and exemplifies a vital modern nonfiction tradition.
