Why do we write? - Meredith Maran

This translated book, in which Meredith Maran conducted a dialogue with twenty writers from different countries, ages and nationalities.

In each chapter, the writer speaks and tells his story with writing, and it is interesting that each of the chapters is translated by a different translator. It is very interesting in this book that each chapter begins with the first paragraph of the most famous novel by the writer... and ends with points that contain his own advice on writing in general. You will find that the advice Many of them are contradictory to each other according to the difference of the writer, so that you know that the book is a very subjective work, very special, differs from one person to another, there are no rules in it, just do what makes you comfortable, and the beginning of the novels placed at the beginning of the chapters made me feel the importance of the opening sentences of any novel, because it will often determine your relationship with this book. It was a useful book as much as it was a motivating book for giving and creativity, but I enjoyed every letter in it and every story, and I was surprised that the number of women writers is more than the number of men, but in the end it is one of the most beautiful books I have read and I recommend it to everyone, whether reader or writer.
