A Spectator Best Book of the Year `There are three rules for
writing a novel,' Somerset Maugham once said. `Unfortunately, no
one knows what they are.' So how to bring characters to life, find
a voice, kill your darlings, avoid plagiarism (or choose not to),
or run that most challenging of literary gauntlets-writing a good
sex scene? Veteran editor and author Richard Cohen takes us on a
fascinating excursion into the lives and minds of our greatest
writers-from Balzac and Eliot to Woolf and Nabokov, through to
Zadie Smith and Stephen King, with a few mischievous detours to
Tolstoy along the way. In a glittering tour d'horizon, he lays bare
their tricks, motivations, techniques, obsessions and flaws.
