Diana Pavlac Glyer is an award-winning writer who has spent more than 40 years combing through archives and studying old manuscripts. She is a leading expert on C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien; her book The Company They Keep (The Kent State University Press, 2007) changed the way we talk about these writers. Her scholarship, teaching, and work as an artist all circle back to one common theme: creativity thrives in community.
James A. Owen has written and illustrated the Starchild graphic novel, the Mythworld series of novels, the best-selling The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, and the forthcoming series Fool s Hollow. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages, and more than a million copies are in print.

Illustrated by James A. Owen. Black Squirrel Books. 6 x 9. illustrations, notes, biblio., index. 224 pages. paperback. keywords: Inklings/Literature and Literary Criticism. DESCRIPTION - C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the other members of the Inklings met each week to read and discuss each other's work-in-progress, offering both encouragement and blistering critique. How did these conversations shape the books they were writing? How does creative collaboration enhance individual talent? And what can we learn from their example? Beautifully illustrated by James A.

You'll learn what made these writers tick and more: inspired by their example, you'll discover how collaboration can help your own creative process and lead to genius breakthroughs in whatever work you do. 'No one knows more than Diana Pavlac Glyer about the internal workings of the Inklings. In Bandersnatch, she shows us how they inspired, encouraged, refined, and opposed one another in the course of producing some of the greatest literature of the last one hundred years. A brilliant and beautifully clear case study of iron sharpening iron.' - Michael Ward, coeditor of C. S. Lewis at Poets' Corner 'The Inklings are about as important a group as ever existed in the literary world. This tremendous new book about them is much anticipated and hugely welcome!' - Eric Metaxas,New York Times best-selling author of Bonhoeffer and Miracles 'What a gift! Bandersnatch is a joy to read and helps dispel that dangerous myth that our greatest writers created in solitude. We all need community in order to do our best work, and this book will show you how some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century did just that. You won't be able to read this book just once.' - Jeff Goins, founder of Tribe Writers and author of The Art of Work. inventory #42501. N° de réf. du vendeur z42501
