Résumé
A journey into the unique spaces where some of literature’s greatest writers created their most memorable worksVirginia Woolf famously wrote in A Room of One’s Own that “it is necessary to have five hundred a year and a room with a lock on the door if you are to write fiction or poetry.” Writers have worked in all kinds of places, from garrets and sheds to boarding houses, bathrooms, and even while on the move. What is it that fascinates us about the writer’s room? This book takes readers inside literature’s creative spaces to explore this tantalizing question.Beginning with her own secondhand writing desk, Katie da Cunha Lewin invites us to consider how these environments embody the craft of writing and shape the literary works we love. She paints vivid portraits of Woolf’s garden room at Monk’s House, Emily Brontë’s shared table in the parsonage, Sigmund Freud’s study with its legendary couch, and the bustling Parisian cafés where Ernest Hemingway crafted stories in notebooks. She dismantles the familiar furniture of the writer’s room to cast it in a surprising new light, from the hotel rooms where Maya Angelou wrote poetry to the busses where Lauren Elkin wrote on her phone to the kitchen tables around which Audre Lorde and the founders of Women of Color Press convened.Lyrical, insightful, and rich with personal insights, The Writer’s Room reveals how these spaces are brimming with possibilities, shaping the creative process of authors and capturing the imaginations of readers.The writers featured include Maya Angelou • James Baldwin • Claire-Louise Bennett • Ray Bradbury • the Brontë sisters • Alexander Chee • Agatha Christie • Lucille Clifton • Roald Dahl • Don DeLillo • Charles Dickens • Emily Dickinson • Joan Didion • Ernest Hemingway • bell hooks • Victor Hugo • Zora Neale Hurston • Derek Jarman • John Keats • Jack Kerouac • Hanif Kureishi • Harper Lee • Doris Lessing • Deborah Levy • Hilary Mantel • Paule Marshall • Sylvia Plath • Thomas Pynchon • William S
