Kissing the Blarney
Besides novels, André Jute writes non-fiction. He is one of the world’s most influential teachers not only of creative writing but also of typography (graphic design) and automobile design. His WRITING A THRILLER, first published in 1985, has gone into three ever larger editions and is being totally rewritten for a celebratory 25th Anniversary 4th Edition. GRIDS: THE STRUCTURE OF GRAPHIC DESIGN, a key book in the design of all kinds of text and illustrated matter, including books, is being prepared in an updated, enlarged electronic version.
