Autobiography of Anthony Trollope by Anthony Trollope
informative
inspiring
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
For Trollope fans, this is a peek into the writer's life and Victorian life in general. We get a sense of the beliefs and social norms that inform his books. We see him judge his work as objectively as a writer can. We get more of the personality hinted at in his fiction.
An Autobiography offers writers even more. Trollope explains his method for getting the work done, even while working a busy full-time job. He shares his thoughts on the writing process, literature, publishing, and more. I was particularly taken by how he thinks about his characters all the time. They live in his head, having a life of their own, even while he works his f/t job with the postal service.
It's well worth the read!
