Four Funerals and a Wedding (Journeys in Creative and Life Writing)

A writer's struggle to finish a novel accidentally leads to him to write a memoir.

Focusing on the writing process, during the completion of a Masters Degree in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2009, Four Funerals and a Wedding (Journeys in Creative and Life Writing) looks at literary criticism, fiction writing, and the relatively new process of 'life writing.' Told with dark humour, this book is a poignant look at childhood, family, love and loss, as well as the writing process, including a loss of confidence, writer's block, literary values, and a desire to write more than an 'airport novel!'
