具体描述
What Pete Tarslaw wants is simple enough: a realistic amount of fame that will open new avenues of sexual opportunity; the kind of financial comfort that will allow him to spend his life pursuing hobbies such as boating or skeet shooting at his stately home by the ocean or a scenic lake; and—perhaps mostly importantly—the chance to humiliate his ex-girlfriend at her wedding. This is the story of how he succeeds in getting it all, and what it costs him in the end.
Narrated by an unlikely literary legend, How I Became A Famous Novelist pinballs from the post-college slums of Boston, to the fear-drenched halls of Manhattan's publishing houses, from the gloomy purity of Montana’s foremost writing workshop to the hedonistic hotel bars of the Sunset Strip. The horrifying, hilarious tale of how Pete’s “pile of garbage” called The Tornado Ashes Club becamethe most talked about, blogged about, read, admired, and reviled novel in America will change everything you think you know about literature, appearance, truth, beauty, andthose people out there, somewhere in America, who still care about books.

评分刚看到这本书名的时候，我以为是一名励志的实用书籍，怀着这样的主观意识开始读这本书，读到作者是如何对那些畅销书分析，包括一列的法则和目标我都一度认为作者在告诉我们如何写一本畅销的书，但是第一章节最后我才恍然大悟，作者这哪是在写怎么写书，而是透过这一系列正儿八...
评分皮特•塔斯洛就是一个我们所熟知的文青，而且事实证明他长期保守了自己。他的故事是我们最熟知的故事，起先做着一份无聊之极的工作养活自己，心里总是有着用写作功成名就的那种叫做激情的东西，一有风声就蠢蠢欲动。本来他手底下的活儿还算有些技术性，——专门给那些刚刚跨...
评分喜欢读畅销小说的人应该读这本书！ 喜欢文学写作的人应该读读这本书！ 但是，我最想说的是喜欢金凯利电影的人绝对不能错过这本书！看这本How I Became a Famous Novelist（谁能告诉我为什么“畅销书作家”比“畅销小说家”更能吸引中国眼球呢？），让我想起他的...
