Why I Have Not Written Any of My Books

By Marcel Bénabou

Book Overview

Marcel B nabou is quick to acknowledge that his own difficulty in writing has plenty of company. Words stick and syntax is stubborn, meaning slips and synonyms cluster. A blank page taunts and a full one accuses. B nabou knows the heroic joy of depriving critics of victims, the kindness of sparing publishers decisions, and the public charity of leaving more room in bookstore displays. Why I Have Not Written Any of My Books (Pourquoi je n'ai crit aucun de mes livres) provides both a respectful litany of writers' fears and a dismissal of the alibis offered to excuse them.
