"Aspiring novelists will be heartened."—Publishers Weekly In Revisionaries, a writing expert takes you on an engrossing tour through the discarded drafts, false starts, and abandoned projects of influential writers. In the process, he dismantles some of our most deeply held—and most suffocating—ideas about what it takes to produce great creative work. You'll learn that: - Franz Kafka lacked confidence - Octavia Butler had writer's block - F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote bad drafts - Ralph Ellison got overwhelmed - Louisa May Alcott got off to a bad start - And more deep, dark secrets about the authors you most admire Written by an award-winning novelist and creative-writing professor, Revisionaries is a compelling peek behind the scenes of genius for writers and readers alike.
