Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Publisher: Riverhead Books (September 2015)
285 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $11.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
This is a book about artistic inspiration and perseverance. Many of the anecdotes, and much of the advice, pertain specifically to writing (as this was indeed written by an author), but they could very easily be applied to any artistic endeavor. The exploration of past ideas regarding artistic greatness or failure were of particular interest and help to me in giving me a fresh outlook in approaching my own writing. The text can be a bit repetitious at times, particularly toward the end, but not annoyingly so. Great resource for anyone who is in an artistic rut, or looking to re-inject some joy into their artistic pursuits. Inspiring read!
