The Writing Life by Annie Dillard

The Writing Life by Annie Dillard

With color, irony, and sensitivity, Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard illuminates the dedication, absurdity, and daring that is the writer's life. As it probes and exposes, examines and analyzes, The Writing Life offers deeper insight into one of the most mysterious of professions. A gregarious recluse, Dillard has passed many days, weeks, and months in remote locations doing something she claims to hate: writing. The act of writing is quite the undertaking, as the author struggles to decide whether she has found her subject, hit a dead end, or come up with a truly inspired bit of literature. Here, on top of providing a glimpse into her own life and writing experiences, Dillard offers wisdom to aspiring and established writers, urging them to maintain their passion and commitment to the work.

Annie Dillard is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, as well as a number of other nonfiction books such as An American Childhood and For the Time Being. The Living and The Maytrees are two of her most recent works.
