This book is a treasure. I read a few pages every day before I write and it never fails to get me in the zone. Before consulting this book I was in a rut going though the motions with my writing. This book helped me get to the beating heart of what I wanted to write. Thank you Lee - such a fine, timeless, precious companion for writers at all levels.

Beautiful, arresting prose. A sober, thoughtful, compassionate exploration of how we deal with collective memory and amnesia, guilt and reconciliation, and truth and beauty through the twin lenses of south-west Queensland and Andalusia. Informative, meditative, entertaining, and provocative. Highly recommended.

Not as meaty as Seven Types of Atheism but still an enjoyable and stimulating read. My cat Kenny was, however, fairly nonplussed;)

Perfect prose, poetic and lyrical. Hazzard’s eye for detail is mesmerizing. Reminded me a little of The English Patient, but also of Woolf and Joyce with its masterful stream-of-consciousness style. So many quotable highly original lines, e.g. this late 1970s scene in the foyer of a Stockholm hotel: ‘A heavy tourist in American seersucker stumbled shortsightedly on Ted Tice’s feet. A woman came out of a phone booth, smiling. A slim boy was pulled past by two leashed poodles.’ Or: ‘Grace stared at his clear, hectic skin and tawny head, his noonday colours.’

I was drawn to this book because Djuna Barnes was a member of the modernist expat Paris-based circle that included Gertude Stein, who I am writing a book about. Although I acknowledge this slim novel was ahead of its time in the way it presented lesbianism and transgenderism, and it creates a unique atmosphere of an other-worldly underworld Paris, I found it a bit hard to get into. It made me think of Woolf, Joyce, Beckett and other modernists, but didn't quote ensnare me and pull me in like those writers do. Still, I'm glad I read it and the eerie, dark, sub-logical, liminal, demi-monde it portrays is deliciously idiosyncratic and haunting.

Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's 'Letters to a Young Poet', McCann's book contains lots of really helpful little gems for the young (and not so young) writer. The prose is fresh, honest and pleasantly surprising, and refreshingly free of tired old cliches like 'show don't tell'. Covers all the aspects of being a writer, from seeking inspiration to dealing with frustration and failure, finding an agent, not finding an agent, etc, etc.
