Overview
Pocas veces un libro sobre el oficio de escribir ha resultado tan clarificador, útil y revelador.
Cuando Stephen King se decidió a escribir sobre su profesión y su vida, un brutal accidente automovilístico puso ambas en riesgo. Durante su convalecencia, el novelista descubrió los vínculos cada vez más fuertes entre la escritura y la vida. Y el resultado es este extraordinario libro, que es al mismo tiempo un ensayo sobre creación literaria y un relato autobiográfico.
Mientras escribo comienza con la asombrosa infancia de Stephen King y su extraño y temprano interés por la escritura que lo llevaron a la culminación de su primera novela, Carrie. A continuación, King describe las herramientas básicas del oficio y expone sus opiniones personales sobre los secretos de la escritura. Mientras escribo culmina con el conmovedor relato de cómo su necesidad de escribir lo ayudó a recuperarse de su casi fatal accidente.
Una vez más Stephen King demuestra que es mucho más que un maestro del thriller: un gran escritor.
