Why We Write: 20 Acclaimed Authors on How and Why They Do What They Do

A Plume paperback anthology in which twenty bestselling authors answer the question of what keeps them at the desk. The contributors range from Isabel Allende to Walter Mosley to Jane Smiley, and the results are uneven in the way all anthologies are. There are craft tips, complaints, and a fair amount of mysticism. The cover is the bright, accessible Plume design that hopes to catch the eye of a writer procrastinating in a bookstore. It does not pretend to be a manual. Ideal reader: the aspiring writer who wants to know that professional writers also panic, procrastinate, and forget to shower.
