Quand Stephen King se décide à écrire sur son métier et sur sa vie, un brutal accident de la route met en péril l'un et l'autre. Durant sa convalescence, le romancier découvre les liens toujours plus forts entre l'écriture et la vie. Résultat : ce livre hors norme et génial, tout à la fois essai sur la création littéraire et récit autobiographique. Mais plus encore révélation de cette alchimie qu'est l'inspiration. Une fois encore Stephen King montre qu'il est bien plus qu'un maître du thriller : un immense écrivain.

A bit like BTS material

5 stars

If you've never read King before, you should probably steer clear of this book until then. But if you have, the beginning and ending are definitely worth reading. I should mention that I didn't read the book for the writing tips. You can probably find more suitable ones for that cause, I think. The middle section (which is the main part) reminded me a bit of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. You learn to paint like Ross, but do you also learn to find your own style? In any case, the anecdotes from King's life are pure gold.

CWs for drugs, murder, suicide.

Review of 'On Writing' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

And absolute diamond of an audio book read by the man himself. One of the best on the subject. The sections on his life and the account of the accident that almost killed him are unmissable. Its thanks to this book that I now have my own copy of The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, in my endless quest to improve my own grammar and readability.
