Welcome to Question One of our Readalong of Aristotle to Novelists by Douglas Vigliotti.
Q Do you prefer stone-cold serious or humour and casual writing in a non-fiction work?
A I think it very much depends upon the subject matter of the book. There are many non-fiction subjects whereby it would be highly inappropriate to write in anything but a serious manner.
However, I also think there are certain books to which a little humour can make a dry subject more accessible and helps the brain to store the knowledge.
What do you think?
