This week, we examine the highs and very many lows of the writing life. Tom Seymour Evans explores a disquieting biography of crime writer James Ellroy, and Stephen Marche shines a light into the abyss of literary failure in his new book.
‘Love Me Fierce in Danger: The Life of James Ellroy’ by Steven Powell
‘On Writing and Failure’ by Stephen Marche
