It's only natural to wonder where & how writer get their ideas, but thanks to this book we no longer who & what inspired Patrick Conroy. My Reading Life is an absolutely fascinating look into the people, writers, and books that made Conroy into the great writer he is today ! ( ) I was disappointed in this even though I'm not a Conroy fan. It's much more about him than it is about books. He says that a book rep he knew when he first started writing said that he would never be a good writer but would have his moments. That I agree with, it's not all bad, there are some interesting stories. Another gem from the gem meister. As the title suggests, this volume focuses on Conroy’s writing and his philosophy of writing....his own and others’ writing. The chapters of homage to Wolfe and Dickey are worth the price of admission. No one puts a string of words together as a sentence quite like Pat Conroy. Sometimes it works; often it doesn’t. And he would be the first to admit that with that impish grin on his face. The world misses him. Between the ages of six and nine, I was a native son of the marine bases of Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune in the eastern coastal regions of North Carolina. My father flew in squadrons of slant-winged Corsairs, which I still think of as the most beautiful warplanes that ever took to the sky. ..Reading great books gave me unlimited access to people I never would have met, cities I couldn't visit, mountain ranges I would never lay eyes on, or rivers I would never swim. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
