20 Lines a Day

by Harry Mathews

Book Overview

For a period of just over a year, Harry Mathews set about following Stendhal s dictum for writers of twenty lines a day, genius or not. What resulted is a book that is part journal, parts writer s manual, and part genius. First undertaken as a kind of discipline, the work molds itself into a penetrating reflection on daily events in Mathews s life, his friends, himself, and the act of writing."
