Und obendrein: der Plot ist raffiniert gestrickt, ich habe das Ende so nicht kommen sehen.
Aus dem Nachwort: "Unter Kreativen wird man nirgendwo mehr Selbstgeißelung finden als unter Schriftstellern. Und dennoch sind wir vom Glück begünstigt. Erstens, weil wir mit Sprache arbeiten, und Sprache ist aufregend. Zweitens, weil wir Geschichten lieben und uns in ihnen austoben dürfen. Entlockt, abgeluchst, geborgt, angepasst, ausgeschmückt ... vielleicht sogar gestohlen. Es ist alles Teil einer großartigen Konversation."
Translation:
I like all books where the author says something about the art of writing. This is the case here and you are right in the middle of the seminars on creative writing, which are mainly offered by moderately successful authors. Same here. What the story lacks in high suspense it makes up for in credits and the search for a good plot. I read this book for a long time and kept discovering new things. How and by whom does a plot develop in the mind of a writer? Where do you write off, where to? Have you already had all your ideas? All the trappings, the drives, thoughts and hopes of an author, nothing is left out here.
And on top of that: the plot is cleverly knitted, I didn’t see the end coming like this.
From the epilogue: "Nowhere will you find more self-flagellation among creative people than among writers. And yet we are fortunate. First, because we work with language, and language is exciting. Second, because we love stories and are allowed to let off steam in them. Coaxed, borrowed, adapted, embellished... maybe even stolen. It's all part of a great conversation."
