This is one of my favorite tropes- what are some of your favorite novels in which the protagonist is a writer? Ideally where the plot is primarily focused on the writing career of the writer.
I’ll start with a couple of my favorites:
- Misery by Stephen King
- The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
- A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne
- The World According to Garp by John Irving
- Erasure by Percival Everett
- Writers and Lovers by Lily King
