    I’m looking for anything that talks about studies discusses the styles of writers. “ what makes a Stephen king book a Stephen king book” “why does Cormac McCarthy sound like cormac McCarthy” “this is why Hemingway sounds like Hemingway”

    That’s kinda of what I am looking for.

    In my journey so far I found books that discuss genres or styles of writing but I’m looking for the style of the writer.
    -reading like a writer
    -the art of fiction
    -exercises in style

    1. Probably not an exact match of what you’re looking for, but you might like “[A Swim in The Pond in The Rain](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56532890)” by George Saunders. It’s focused on Russian short stories, but I listened to the audiobook and really liked the way he broke down why the authors made the writing choices that they did.
