It's a book designed to help you to find the courage to put truth into words and to understand that writing is a life-and-death endeavor-but that nothing about a life-and-death endeavor keeps it from being laugh-out-loud funny." "My hope is that MFA in a Box will help writers balance the despair of writing with the joy of writing.
"A big part of writing involves grappling with the terrors and discouragements that come when you have writing skills but can't project yourself or your work into the future," says Rember. He tells them how they can breathe down there and how they can get back. In chapters that explore the relationships between the writer and love, grief, place, family, race, violence, and other topics, Rember helps writers dive deep into their own writing. Part craft talk, part philosophical tome, part memoir, MFA in a Box is not so much a book about how to write as it is about whyto write.
