"In his provocative and enlightening discussion, Thomas Newkirk helps us to see how thesis-control essays can smother the very thinking that the act of writing should feed. This is not neat and tidy book of strategies, but an impassioned plea to adandon our misguided reverence for formula and mind-controlling structure." ~Vicki Spandel, Author, Creating Writers and The 9 Rights of Every Writer
