On Writing and Failure: Field Notes

Autor Stephen Marche
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2023
'Good writers offer advice. Great writers offer condolences' If you want to be a writer, then you'd better be ready to hurl yourself at the door. That's the message from Stephen Marche in this irresistibly droll broadside. Perseverance, in the teeth of rejection, forms the essence of a writer's life. It's what it takes, so no whining. Even the greatest of writers grapple with failure. Marche's provocative, often very funny vignettes range through literary history from Samuel Johnson ('broke as f*ck') to Jane Austen's lacklustre publishing deals, to Dostoevsky facing mock-execution. The trick is to endure. As James Baldwin famously exhorts us: 'Write. Find a way to keep alive and write.'For new and seasoned writers, Marche's words are salutary and, in a paradoxical way, consoling.All writers are up against it. Success is just an attire.

I was considerably amused by Stephan Marche's short but pungent book ... it contains zingers
A sparkling cocktail of bittersweet jokes and fizzing truth bombs
More heartening than a thousand cheery Instagram posts
Occasionally when the stars are aligned, someone writes a work as provocative, informed and droll as On Writing and Failure
Praise for Stephen Marche's The Shining at the Bottom of the Sea:'The most exciting mash-up of literary genres since David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas
