Where did
The War of Art
come from?
How did creativity sensei Steven Pressfield come up with the notion that there is an insidious force in the universe called Resistance that keeps us from pursuing our life's work and fulfilling our artistic destiny? And that until we recognize and engage in an end-of-days battle with the big "R," our inner genius will remain blocked and unborn inside an internal protoplasmic goo?
Was he touched by angels as he contemplated the universe in an ashram?
Did he meet a mysterious stranger at a truck stop in Twin Falls, Idaho who imparted deep truths over a cup of muddy Joe?
Perhaps blunt force trauma in a Reno bar had something to do with it?
If only...
As his "Too Close To True Novel," THE KNOWLEDGE, riotously reveals, the truth of Pressfield's Weltanschauung origin story lies somewhere between fact and fiction...
In the high-crime 1970s in New York, Pressfield was driving a cab and tending bar, incapable of achieving anything literary beyond the completion of his third-in-a-row unpublishable novel. Until fate, in the form of a job tailing his boss's straying wife, propels him into a Big Lebowski-esque underworld saga that ends with him coming to a life-altering crisis involving not just the criminals he has become deeply and emotionally involved with, but with his own inner demons of the blank page.
THE KNOWLEDGE is not just a writer's coming-of-age story. It's every writer's coming-of-age story. If you're a fan of THE WAR OF ART, Pressfield's new novel, THE KNOWLEDGE, is the story behind that story and the origin tale between its lines.
