In it, authors divulge professional secrets: how they first discovered they were writers, how they work, how they deal with the myriad frustrations and delights a writer's life affords. Culled from ten years of the distinguished \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e column of the same name, \u003ci\u003eThe Writing Life\u003c\/i\u003e highlights an eclectic group of luminaries who have wildly varied stories to tell, but who share this singularly beguiling career. Here are their pleasures as well as their peeves; revelations of their deepest fears; dramas of triumphs and failures; insights into the demands and rewards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each piece is accompanied by a brief and vivid biography of the writer by \u003ci\u003eWashington Post Book World\u003c\/i\u003e editor Marie Arana who also provides an introduction to the collection. The result is a rare view from the inside: a close examination of writers' concerns about the creative process and the place of literature in America. For anyone interested in the making of fiction and nonfiction, here is a fascinating vantage on the writer's world -- an indispensable guide to the craft.","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895783256293,"sku":"NP9781586481490","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781586481490_7955b4dd-47dd-4d2c-bbc2-facb45231828.jpg?v=1771872985","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-writing-life-isbn-9781586481490","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
