Description

What does it feel like to try and create something new? How is it possible to find a space for the demands of writing a novel in a world of instant communication?Working on My Novel is about the act of creation and the gap between the different ways we express ourselves today. Exploring the extremes of making art, from satisfaction and even euphoria to those days or nights when nothing will come, it’s the story of what it means to be a creative person, and why we keep on trying.

About The Author

Cory Arcangel (born 1978) is an American artist whose work explores the relationship between technology and culture. His work is in New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, and the Tate. A classical guitar player and coder, he has a Web site that automatically updates every time someone tweets the phrase 'follow my other Twitter', and the blog, Sorry I Haven't Posted, that re-posts other people's apologies for not blogging.
Review Quote

An epically brilliant work by a great American artist and author
Other text

It is hard to imagine a book more of its time than Working on My Novel… Arcangel has reflected something poignant about this collective yearning for creative individuation, about how technology seems to facilitate self-expression while effecting a strange obliteration of the individual-a symbolic compression of the self into the repository of the personal brand… The playful suggestion here seems to be that Working on My Novel is itself actually a novel
