Part memoir, part handbook, part survey of the contemporary literary scene, Joan Franks Because You Have To: A Writing Life is a collection of essays that, taken together, provide a walking tour of the writing life. Franks aim is to form a coherent vision, one that may provide some communion about realities of the writer's vocation that have struck her as rarely revealed.Frank offers what she has learned as a writer not only to other writers, but to those to whom good writing matters. Her insights about 'thinking on paper' are never dogmatic or pontifical; rather, they are cordial and intellectually welcoming.Original, witty, and practical, Frank ably steers us through the journey of her own life as a writer, as well as through the careers and work of other writers. Her subjects range widely, from the boot camp conditioning of marketing work to squaring off with rejection and envy; from sustaining belief in arts necessity to the baffling subjectivity of literary perception and the magical books that nourish writers. Franks personal journey is wonderfully told, so that what in these essays is particular becomes useful and universal.
