On Writing

A Memoir of the Craft

by Stephen King


ISBN: 0684853523
ISBN-13: 9780684853529
Format: Hardcover

Summary

In this combination memoir and writing guide, best-selling author Stephen King tells of how he came to be a writer and, in the process, explores many aspects of writing, from plot construction through some of the nuts and bolts of getting a book published. Much of his advice is quite traditional: find a quiet place to work, concentrate on character, master grammar and punctuation, keep THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE handy. And, like all good writers, he stresses the primary importance of reading, and in an amusing reconstruction of his childhood and teenage years, he writes about his obsession with books (among other things). The section in which he relates his brush with death after being hit by a drunken driver is especially compelling-very much like a Stephen King novel.

Media Reviews

"[King's] warmly conversational book about literary craftsmanship should interest even those who find something oxymoronic in its inception....[H]e may not be the most noble of stylists, but there is no denying that he knows how to make a story fly."    -- Janet Maslin

   -- New York Times

"King takes us through his earliest writings, rejections, alcoholism, and success. He imbues each snapshot with wisdomand advice for writers [and] practical advice...."    -- Marla Abramson

   -- Book

"...King dispenses good common sense on life as well as writing."    -- Dan Wakefield

Body, Remember
by Kenny Fries

At thirty-five, Kenny Fries wanted to discover what could be learned about the history of his body and the map of physical and psychological scars that he had lived with since infancy. He began only with the description his father had given him. At birth, his legs were no bigger than fingers; both twisted like pretzels; neither had an arch to separate leg from foot; dimpled above what would have been his ankles. There was no scientific description of his disability; no reason for it had been given. So Fries turned to long-buried medical records, reconstructing the story of his disability just as his body had been reconstructed over countless surgeries. In these pages we learn not only what one man's disability has taught him but also gain intimacy with the connections between body and memory that are common to us all. • There is ongoing media interest in issues of "the body" and disability. The May 1997 unveiling of the FDR memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C., has sparked further discussions of these issues. • Fries is the editor of Staring Back: The Disability Experience from the Inside Out (Plume, October 1997).

Borrowed Finery
by Paula Fox

Born to nomadic and bohemian parents who rarely had time for her, the author presents a dramatic portrait of her childhood, detailing her many homes, from living in an orphanage in Manhattan to roaming free on a relative's sugar plantation in Cuba, where she acquired a few pieces of clothing from strangers that gave her a shred of permanency.

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Audio, 2000. Book Description "If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write." In 1999, Stephen King began to write about his craft -- and his life. By midyear, a widely reported accident jeopardized the survival of both. And in his months of recovery, the link between writing and living became more crucial than ever. Rarely has a book on writing been so clear, so useful, and so revealing. On Writing begins with a mesmerizing account of King's childhood and his uncannily early focus on writing to tell a story. A series of vivid memories from adolescence, college, and the struggling years that led up to his first novel, Carrie, will afford readers a fresh and often very funny perspective on the formation of a writer. King next turns to the basic tools of his trade -- how to sharpen and multiply them through use, and how the writer must always have them close at hand. He takes the reader through crucial aspects of the writer's art and life, offering practical and inspiring advice on everything from plot and character development to work habits and rejection. Serialized in the New Yorker to vivid acclaim, On Writing culminates with a profoundly moving account of how King's overwhelming need to write spurred him toward recovery, and brought him back to his life.

55) ON WRITING: A Memoir of the Craft
King, Stephen

New York: Scribner, 2000. . First printing. . Fine in fine dust jacket (as new.) . In his preface King describes his reason for writing this book: popular novelists also 'care about the language, in our humble way, and care passionately about the art and craft of telling stories on paper.' It was perhaps that passion for telling stories that earned King the special National Book Award for his work in 2003. A book which was begun before his accident in 1999, this is far more than a 'how-to' book on writing . It is also a memoir in which King describes how he was formed as a writer, and a moving account of how his need to write spurred him to recovery. This book begins with an admonition to get Strunk and White's 'Elements of Style' and ends with a listing of the books he had read over the past few years - and in between has lots of useful information. 288 pp. (more information)
