Is harrowing about it in literary work (8)
I believe the answer is:
writings
'literary work' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is harrowing about it' is the wordplay.
'is harrowing' becomes 'wrings' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wrings' enclosing 'it' is 'WRITINGS'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for writings that I've seen before include "Literary compositions" , "literary works" , "literature" .)
