The Killing of an Author Book PDF Summary
Memoir: How Writers Screw Up and Publishing's Tricks & Taboos. “The Killing of an Author” is a true story--of a small-town Indian dreamer who meets some of the most powerful people in the literary universe. The book is set mainly in New York, and partly in London and New Delhi. With cameo appearances by literary and publishing stars, and a relentless storytelling pace, this book has an element of literary thriller to it, one climactic moment being when the world's most powerful editor tells the author, "Remarkable ... I must admit I have been haunted by your novel!" and another when Saul Bellow's agent tells the author, "I can see this as a movie!" "What comes out is his integrity. Not many people about whom you can say this. If Richard succeeds, we shall all succeed."--Kuldip Nayar, eminent Indian author/editor/statesman. "Crasta has a sense of humour which he maintains from the start to the end. Funny, sad, and eye-opening. . .Dares to be different. We need more writers like him." --The Deccan Chronicle "You are funny and delightful . . . and nowhere are you too heavy to carry. I've never read anyone like you. I laugh, I ache, I smile, I cry - but never close the book without that smile surfacing."--Sheelagh Grenon, Canada "More than a book . . . an act of bravery."--Lulu Review Keywords: publishing, publishing memoir, New York publishers, British publishers, Penguin Books, Fourth Estate, Writers, Publishing Taboos, Writers, Author Biographies, Author Memoirs, How to Succeed, Race and Publishing.
