The Spooky Art: Thoughts on Writing (2003) by
Norman Mailer
Throughout, Mailer ties in examples from his own career,
and reflects on the works of his fellow writers, living and dead --
Ernest Hemingway,
Herman Melville,
Joan Didion,
John Updike,
Mark Twain,
Samuel Beckett,
Saul Bellow,
William Faulkner,
William Styron,
and a host of others. In The Spooky Art, Mailer captures the
unique untold suffering and exhilaration of the novelist’s daily life
and, while plotting a clear path for other writers to follow, maintains
reverence for the underlying mystery and power of the art.
Exiled in Paris: Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Samuel Beckett, and Others on the Left Bank (1995, 2003)
by James Campbell
Exiled in Paris
provides a compelling look at the personalities who fueled the literary
and philosophical dramas of postwar Paris:
James Baldwin,
Alexander Trocchi, Boris Vian, Maurice Girodias, and many others. James
Campbell provides a fresh look at Samuel Beckett's
early career; reveals the facts behind the publication of the scandalous
best-seller The Story of O; and tells the poignant story of
Richard Wright's years in exile. He
captures the sense of deliverance that Wright, so accustomed to daily
humiliations in his own country, experienced during his sojourn on the
Left Bank, where, for the first time in his life, he was treated as a
great man of letters. Here, too, are all the circumstances surrounding
Wright's mysterious death, which many close to him regarded as suspicious.
