Ebook About In his first-ever work of nonfiction, Graham Swift—Booker Prize-winning author of Waterland and Last Orders—gives us a highly personal book: a singular and open-spirited account of a writer’s life. Here Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to choose a guitar; Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard; Caryl Phillips shares a beer with the author at a nightclub in Toronto. There are private moments with Swift’s father and with his own younger self, as well as musings—on history, memory, and imagination—that illuminate his work. As generous in its scope as it is acute in its observations, Making an Elephant brings together a richly varied selection of essays, portraits, poetry and interviews, full of insights into Swift’s passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family and other writers who have mattered to him over the years.Book Making an Elephant (Vintage International) Review :
In his Introduction Swift says that none of his novels have autobiographical material in them. I can believe that, for the eponymous piece (surprisingly named, since the making of a wooden elephant plays a very small part in it) is an affectionate piece about his late father, whereas in some of his novels the father-son relationship is a very tense one.But in this collection of 18 pieces (plus 26 of his uncomplicated and mostly very short poems) he does say quite a lot about himself, about episodes of his life, about visits to Greece (in 1967 during the rule of the military Junta and again in 1974 just as the Junta was overthrown) and to Prague in 1989, just as the Velvet Revolution was happening. He talks about films being made of his novels; about his writer friends - he interviews two of them, Kazuo Ishiguro and Caryl Phillips, about their novels, and there are pieces about Salman Rushdie and Ted Hughes (who also, like Swift, loved fishing).But most of it is about how he personally sees the business of writing novels and short stories. Several times he stresses the essential connection between fiction and the imagination. He is interviewed about his novels by Patrick McGrath and by Barbara Barker. The most interesting insight into how he writes is in the interview by Barbara Barker in the penultimate piece: here we see the enormous role played by his intuition rather than by any planning beforehand: he never knows in advance where his story-telling will take him. It has worked brilliantly for him, but his account cannot be taken as (nor would he claim it to be) a generalized statement of how novels come to be written.It is all interesting and beautifully written; we are in touch with a very reflective person, deeply into symbolism, and very likeable at that. A great collection of essays, poems, an even interviews o other writers by Graham Swift. Swift is a very lyrical writer, and this book is wonderful to read. However, it is basically a book that will be enjoyed most by writers and would-be writers (that covers about 90% of us!) as well as fans of Swift. A very contenting book.
