Summary 'My first tenet is write about what is urgent. Good literature, I believe, arises out of a pressing need to express something. Isn't creative writing all about being possessed, seized, obsessed? It's like sexual desire: you cannot sensibly choose what to be attracted to. Urgent subjects reside in our blood and marrow - whether we write about ourselves or not, they are bound to who we are, to our personal history, our passions or concerns. I cannot picture a serious artist working on a matter they are merely curious about; they must be driven to explore.' Russian born, Melbourne based Lee Kofman is a force in Australian literature. Powerful combination of raw memoir and personal writing guide. Lee is a charismatic media and writers' festival favourite. Based on Lee's popular writing courses, her insight and wisdom now available in book form. Contains the essential bibliography of all the 'must read' writers from Tolstoy to Knausgaard. Could be used as cheat's guide to appearing well read and culturally literate. 'The Pram in the Hall" is real: how Lee combines writing with motherhood.
