How to Write an Autobiographical Novel: Essays (Compact Disc)

Staff Reviews

Partially a guide to the writing life, partially a memoir-in-essays, completely a staggering work of queer literature, Chee's debut nonfiction floored me. Upon finishing Chee's collection, my ambitions as a queer writer seemed not only possible but obtainable. Leading readers through the many lives he's lived on the way to becoming one of America's most renowned writers, Chee generously offers practical advice to writers at any stage of their artistry through the prism of his own experience. Breath-taking and absolutely necessary.
