Description
Writing Against Time by Michael Clune explores the enduring quest to create new forms in art. From thinkers like Edmund Burke to writers such as Keats and Proust, artists have sought to break free from habit and create something fresh. This attempt is fraught with challenge, as even the most innovative works can become stale through repetition. In his study of these writers' struggles, Clune reveals a shared ambition that drives their work. He examines how they draw on diverse sources - including totalitarian regimes, music, addiction, and global commodity exchange - to inform their craft. By reading central works of literature in light of this shared goal, Clune offers a revisionary understanding of some of the most important literature of the past two centuries. This book provides a nuanced analysis of the artistic process, shedding light on the complex interplay between creativity, habit, and innovation.
