"The
scenes are attractive and varied, and Provost varies his
style. He walks around. He sits. He jokes, but not too much.
He gestures. He writes on the board. And his Boston accent
helps keep your attention. ... Why should you listen to
what Gary Provost has to say about writing? Well, for one
thing, he knows what he's talking about. He's an extraordinary
mix of a teacher who can really teach, and a writer who
can really write. ... You'd be hard pressed to find a better
writing instructor than Gary Provost. ... Great."
