Literary Nonfiction. This is an inspiring book about writing
and--more unusually--a book that honors ambition, that
idiosyncratic drive that compels writers and other artists to
action despite every kind of obstacle. Upton explores forces that
threaten our ability to fulfill the most daring aspirations, and
she examines ambition's adjuncts, including failure, boredom, and
purity, offering a provocative antidote: obsession. Ultimately
Upton argues for a new perception of literary art as "a good
secret" for our time, when our interior lives and our imaginations
are under threat.
