Re: Book Recs

[sarillia]

Kind of weird request, but do any of you know some novels that involve writing? I love Stephen King's Misery and Andrew Clements's The School Story is so cute and I like London Fields where one of the main characters is a writer writing a novel about the events of the book. Oh and I always enjoy the discussions about writing and literature in Hygiene and the Assassin.

And what about some experimental literature? Things like If on a winter's night a traveler and Perec's A Void.

I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith. The protag's father is a novelist with a bad case of writer's block.

Oh I didn't know that! Even though I've been meaning to read that for years. Thanks.

Stephen King's Bag of Bones also deals with writing. Writer's block, to be specific, and the author that suffers from it.

You know, I really should have thought to look through the catalog of King's writing I haven't read yet. Of course he would have more of what I'm looking for here. Thanks!

LM Montgomery is most well known for Anne of Green Gables, but her 'Emily' trilogy is also really good, and the protagonist is a writer.

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld. It's a book-within-a-book where the chapters alternate between telling the story of a writer working on her first novel. Her novel's an urban fantasy, so not closely related at all to the writer's real life, but one of the plot points of the writer's story is that she's Indian-American (as in her parents are from India) and she starts to question the ethics of fictionalizing elements of Hinduism for her book. It's very meta and reminded me a lot the kinds of discussions that pop up on F!S.

Also, she has a romance plot with another (female) writer, whose book also gets a cameo.

... aaaand some important text got deleted. It should be "the chapters alternate between telling the story of a writer working on her first novel and the full novel itself."
