Drawing on some 3,000 published interviews with contemporary
authors, Authors on Writing: Metaphors and Intellectual Labor
reveals new ways of conceiving of writing as intellectual labor.
Authors' metaphorical stories about composing highlight not
interior worlds but socially situated cultures of composing and
apparatuses of authorship. Through an original method of
interpreting metaphorical stories, Tomlinson argues that writing is
both an individual activity and a collective practice, a solitary
activity that depends upon rich, sustained, and complex social
networks, institutions, and beliefs. This new book draws upon
interviews with writers including: Seamus Heaney, Roald Dahl,
Samuel Beckett, Bret Easton Ellis, John Fowles, Allen Ginsburg,
Alice Walker and Gore Vidal.
