I think I would use this as a guide to writing much more then I would use anything that LeGuin ever wrote about writing. ( ) A book about our hero, C.S. Forester in his early life. I have discovered that his real name was Cecil Lewis Troughton Smith. The book demonstrates his nerd credentials, and documents his early struggles after leaving medical school. It was an easier life than that shown in Hamsun's "Hunger", but still, much better reviewed in retrospect, than lived at the time. He missed active service in WWI due to a heart condition. apparently it cleared up in the twenties, but descended again in the 1950's. But all his friends were dead, or out of contact due to injuries. At the age of 20, he had to find something to do, and became a provider of Napoleonic period biographies, and who-dunnits. Then, after the success of "Payment Deferred," a first class why-dunnit, he came across Horatio Hornblower. That's where the story ends. It's a good read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
