Mientras Escribo: Memorias de Un Oficio / On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Pocas veces un libro sobre el oficio de escribir ha resultado tan clarificador, útil y revelador.

>Mientras escribo comienza con la asombrosa infancia de Stephen King y su extraño y temprano interés por la escritura que lo llevaron a la culminación de su primera novela, Carrie. A continuación, King describe las herramientas básicas del oficio y expone sus opiniones personales sobre los secretos de la escritura. Mientras escribo culmina con el conmovedor relato de cómo su necesidad de escribir lo ayudó a recuperarse de su casi fatal accidente.
