The Knowledge: A Too Close To True Novel - Steven Pressfield

Descriere The Knowledge: A Too Close To True Novel - Steven Pressfield

\n \nWhere did The War of Art come from?\n \nHow did creativity sensei Steven Pressfield come up with the notion that there is an insidious force in the universe called Resistance that keeps us from pursuing our life's work and fulfilling our artistic destiny? And that until we recognize and engage in an end-of-days battle with the big R, our inner genius will remain blocked and unborn inside an internal protoplasmic goo?\n \nWas he touched by angels as he contemplated the universe in an ashram?\n \nDid he meet a mysterious stranger at a truck stop in Twin Falls, Idaho who imparted deep truths over a cup of muddy Joe?\n \nPerhaps blunt force trauma in a Reno bar had something to do with it?\n \nIf only...\n \nAs his Too Close To True Novel, THE KNOWLEDGE, riotously reveals, the truth of Pressfield's Weltanschauung origin story lies somewhere between fact and fiction...\n \nIn the high-crime 1970s in New York, Pressfield was driving a cab and tending bar, incapable of achieving anything literary beyond the completion of his third-in-a-row unpublishable novel. Until fate, in the form of a job tailing his boss's straying wife, propels him into a Big Lebowski-esque underworld saga that ends with him coming to a life-altering crisis involving not just the criminals he has become deeply and emotionally involved with, but with his own inner demons of the blank page.\n \nTHE KNOWLEDGE is not just a writer's coming-of-age story. It's every writer's coming-of-age story. \n If you're a fan of THE WAR OF ART, Pressfield's new novel, THE KNOWLEDGE, is the story behind that story and the origin tale between its lines.\n
