Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best
plan is to just get used to it. Failure is a topic discussed in
every creative writing department in the world, but this is the
book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare
them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to
continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the
Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer
describes the defining role played by rejection in literary
endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer's
life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers
stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid's exile and
Dostoevsky's mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to
endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of
writing is the point.
