Wie Romane entstehen

A standard work for authors, literature lovers and every passionate reader There are many novel poems by writers, but never before has it been described in detail how novels are created in the novel workshops of the writers. The two authors of this volume, a novelist of many important and highly regarded novels and his long-standing editor, use numerous examples to analyse such processes of creation by precisely distinguishing the individual work phases of the "long work on a novel" and repeatedly asking exactly what happens in these work phases and how they relate to each other. From the first notes and poetic inspirations to the finished manuscript, they explain step by step what kind of work (on characters, settings and the development of scenes, dramaturgies and plot) authors have to deal with.
