What does this profession promise that despite its many pitfalls still tempts so many? While writing can often be a lonely business, so many people have vouched for the fact that they cannot imagine themselves doing anything else. What promise does this profession hold that allures so many? Here, I have curated a list of novels about the lives of writers who try to explore these areas in their own capacity. There’s no universal writerly experience. All the narratives mentioned above shed light on its various aspects. I hope we keep writing more and more fiction about the lives of fiction writers as there can never be enough books about those who make books happen.
