Resumen:

Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home : Equal parts revelation and inspiration, Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home is a memoir of an exotic life, a meditation on the art and craft of writing, and a brilliant examination of the always complex relationship between fiction and life. Whether examining the difference between a story told and a story written or describing the trials and rigors of teaching writing to pay the rent, Lynn Freed tears off all fictional disguises and exposes the human being behind the artist. Learned, opinionated, and wickedly funny, Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home is essential reading for writers, readers, and anyone engaged in literature.
