"Writing is the water of life."

I will not repeat everything users before me have already said in their reviews; I would simply say that this book is the work of a writer in the service of his art, a writer who engages with extraordinary verve and without any detour to his readers, and sometimes not mince words in against his critics (some critics really take for their degree!)

Some may find the first part ("CV") a bit long and superfluous to the rest of the book. In fact, I believe that if Stephen King engages in this sort of autobiographical introspection, it is to show that it is essential: to speak of writing for a writer is first and foremost talk self and his own life experience, show that both are inseparable. Moreover, it is the writing that should be at the service of life and not vice versa, as this quote sums up we find on the back cover: "Life is not a logistics system to support the art. It is just the opposite. "

So a big thank you, Mr. King, a big thank you for sharing with us your knowledge so great, so enriching to writing, and to guide us through your advice that will give more than one, including me, envy to drink the water of life is writing ...
