Tips for writing

  • Knife and Pencil Irati Jimenez Txalaparta, 2013

Would you like to be a writer and don't know where to go? Even though you're a writer, you haven't found the right style yet, and you have to improve, what to learn, what to imitate? You may be a curious reader, who does not want to write, but who wants to know the axes (and manias) in which famous authors exercise their trade...

If one of these cases is yours, you should have the knife and the pencil in your hands. Writers' advice on writing (self-help guide). In it you will find the texts compiled and translated by Irati Jiménez, always illustrated with the beauty of Antton Olariaga.

The reflections of John Steinbeck, Margaret Atwood, Henry Miller, Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King or Gabriel García Márquez follow a similar pattern: first the most significant biographical data about the author, and then a series of recommendations on writing, often in the decalogue. On these pages you can find everything, sensible notes, amazing comments, funny quotes and many pearls. From a single word, the same chosen in the preamble by Harkaitz Cano himself: “Nothing is written in literature.”

Beyond writing, Cano says this book is everywhere and everywhere, “because it talks about the attitude of working and living. Writing style and lifestyle. Literature and crime. Of vanity and envy. To learn how to better tell your life.”

It is a pity that there is no Basque author.
