Where do writers get their ideas? How do they deal with writer's block? What gets them high? What gets them low? What do they do all day?
With original contributions from some of the most established authors in the world, How I Write is an editorial powerhouse of more than sixty essays, featuring Jonathan Franzen, Joyce Carol Oates, Rick Moody, Alan Hollinghurst, Will Self, Nicole Krauss, A. S. Byatt, and many others. The idea was to create a book that worked like an old curiosity shop, full of letters, photographs, drawings, illustrations, and other scattered mementos.
Edited by the creator of the cult-literary magazine Zembla, and designed by art director Vince Frost, How I Write is a must-have for all writers, readers, and anyone interested in books, ideas and design.
