Living with a Writer features some of our most insightful literary minds writing as only they could on the practical and personal considerations of being a writer. Entries include John Updike on being a writer; David Updike on being the son of a writer and a writer himself; Nadine Gortimer on living with herself; Margaret Drabble on her relationship with Malcolm Holroyd; Edmund Morris on his relationship with his wife, Sylvia Jukes Morris; John Bayley on Iris Murdoch; and Paul Theroux on V.S. Naipaul. These candid essays offer a rare opportunity to peer into and demystify the private lives of some of the very best contemporary writers of our time.
