KlappentextWriting is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it. Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer´s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid´s exile and Dostoevsky´s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.
