On writing. Autobiografia di un mestiere
by Stephen King
Più che un manuale tecnico per aspiranti scrittori, questo libro è un'autobiografia del mestiere, in cui la storia personale e professionale di King si fondono totalmente. Il capitolo d'apertura, "Curriculum vitae" ripercorre gli anni della formazione attraverso i momenti di crescita fino al grande successo di "Carrie". "La cassetta degli attrezzi" è invece una disincantata elencazione dei ferri del mestiere. "Sullo scrivere" illustra le fasi del racconto creativo fino all'approdo editoriale; infine "Sul vivere" racconta come l'autore abbia visto la morte da vicino dopo lo spaventoso incidente in cui è stato coinvolto e come, grazie alla scrittura, sia tornato alla vita.
