Un singular manual de escritura con los «trucos creativos de los grandes maestros de la literatura en lengua española.
Durante años, Álvaro Colomer ha entrevistado a los grandes maestros de la literatura sobre sus métodos de trabajo. El resultado es esta antología, que recoge casi un siglo de sabiduría (desde Ida Vitale, con cien años, hasta Mario Obrero, que apenas pasa de los veinte) y que sigue la construcción de una novela: inspiración, escritura, corrección y publicación. Descubrimos que Pere Gimferrer escribe tras un «destello ; que Aixa de la Cruz ha sustituido la cafeína por el yoga; que Vila-Matas corrige sus manuscritos como un pintor que consigue que no se vea la pincelada inicial; o que Luna Miguel siempre se masturba antes de comenzar. En definitiva, este es un manual de escritura creativa que no habrá letraherido al que se le resista.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A unique writer's manual with creative tricks from some of the masters of Spanish-language literature.
Álvaro Colomer has spent years interviewing literary masters about their writing methods. The result is this anthology, a compilation of close to a century of wisdom (from the centenarian Ida Vitale to Mario Obrero, barely in his twenties) about the process of creating a novel: inspiration, writing, editing and publication. Pere Gimferrer, we learn, waits for a creative spark to begin writing; Aixa de la Cruz has replaced yoga with caffeine; Vila-Matas approaches his manuscripts like a painter filling in a sketched outline; and Luna Miguel masturbates before sitting down to work. True lovers of literature won't be able to resist this one-of-a-kind guide to the craft of writing.
