<div><div><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Comprised of 24 fascinating and often surprising anecdotal portraits, this literary study explores the odd jobs that some of the world&#8217;s most famous writers had to take in order to support themselves financially while working on their masterpieces. Before they were beloved by readers and critics alike, authors such as Charles Bukowski, Franz Kafka, Jack London, and Italo Svevo had to make their livings in other ways. From traditional day jobs&#8212;bakers, taxi drivers&#8212;to more questionable means of employment&#8212;acrobats, opium traffickers&#8212;the experiences of these artists are great backdrops for their later successes. Full of literary references, erudite insights, and plenty of flavor, this collection is a rewarding journey through the less-than-glamorous lives of some of the greatest authors of all time.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><i>Compuesto por 24 relatos anecd&#243;ticos fascinantes y muchas veces sorprendentes, este estudio literario explora los trabajos extra&#241;os que algunos de los escritores m&#225;s famosos del mundo tuvieron que&#160;hacer para mantenerse econ&#243;micamente mientras trabajaban en sus obras maestras.
