From one of Mexico’s most inventive and talented novelists, How to Draw a Novel is a witty and nuanced text and visual book on craft and is an incredible resource for writers at every point of their careers.
Solares literally draws the shape of famous books from Don Quixote to Moby-Dick to Bolaño and García Marquez, in original line drawings featured throughout the book.
While many craft books explore the American and European literary canons, Solares’ examination is wide-ranging and unique in its consideration of not only classic American and European novels, but across the American continent and Latin and South America as well, including a long consideration of the founding text of magical realism (published by Grove) Pedro Páramo.
Literary Hub ran an excerpt from How to Draw a Novel, showcasing how Solares uses line drawings to depict and describe the shape of a novel.
A former acquiring editor, Solares has many ties to the literary and publishing communities, including Paul Auster, Junot Díaz, and Grove’s own Francisco Goldman.
Books on craft and writing are perennially popular and useful, and we hope How to Draw a Novel will find a place in writing programs across the country.
