The writer and his ghosts

These articles that compose this book according to Ernesto Sabato are "in general, something of a writer's diary, and closely resemble the notes and considerations that writers record in their confessions and correspondence." When Sabato published this book, he had experienced nightmares of imaginary work and was haunted by ghosts of creative writing, and as a result of that experience, literary research, theories, and reflections appeared in the text, by a writer who dives into the depths of the creator, who connects us to the pulse of life, desire, and aesthetic influence. Among the main ideas that Sabato repeated, which provide an opportunity for other reflections and ideas and are considered a core, is his own concept of the novel, which he considers "a form of examining the human conscience." Therefore, he paid special attention to the novel as a new way of knowledge capable of teaching man about feelings, emotions, and reactions, which cannot be perceived through science or logic. In "The Writer and His Ghosts," Ernesto Sabato exposes his soul and offers luminous reflections and bright ideas about the art of creative writing. Number of pages: 208
