How do life experiences feed into the books that an author writes?
In
, Norman Weeks recounts the experiential origins of his writings.
Looking back over his first fifty years, he presents a comprehensive treatment of his life, especially those aspects that proved source material for what he would eventually write: His upbringing, education, maturation, personal interactions with friends and lovers, adventures and misadventures, travels and travails. A rich life, a rich lode for literary mining.
The principal theme of
, a literary biography, is the pursuit of personal vocation.
We follow the thought processes of an author-at-work, as he reports on his various literary projects,-their roots, the subjects and their treatment, the difficulties of composition, the relation of form to content, revisions and new versions in the pursuit of perfection.
In all, a self-revelation and an exegesis of the author's works.
