by Will Blythe

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this widely praised anthology, twenty-six American writers illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in original essays that are as surprising and varied as their fiction.

Synopsis:

To pursue a vocation like fiction writing these days demands an almost religious sense of mission. With so little chance of making a living, let alone a fortune, how does one come to terms with the impulse to write? In this landmark anthology, twenty-six of America's most exciting and accomplished writers of fiction illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in ways as surprising and varied as their fiction.

Synopsis:

In this anthology, 26 writers illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in original essays that are as surprising and varied as their fiction. The contributors include Pat Conroy, Norman Mailor, Rick Moody and David Foster Wallace.
