Portrait Of An Artist, As An Old Man by Joseph Heller
5.0
This book is just perfect! Heller's writing is so awesome and spot on all through the book. He has this special way of describing his characters, just already showing you not to take them too serious because they do have some flaws, despite what he sais.
Also I really enjoyed when he made you aware of the fact, that you're reading a book and that he is the master of the things happening in it.
His main character is an elderly writer who wants to finish his career and life with one big masterpiece.
So you follow his ideas, outlines and first drafts until he gives up on them. It is just so enlightening to see the workings of the writer and find your own struggles (as a writer) in there.
I just loved this book!
