Breve til en ung forfatter

Det begyndte med nogle tekster stilet til en ung forfatter. De blev lagt op på Colum McCanns hjemmeside, én hver fredag, og var en mosaik af de råd, han har givet deltagerne på de kurser, hvor han i mange år har undervist i at skrive skønlitteratur. Det er dels praktiske råd, fx om sprog, om skriveprocessen og om at blive udgivet. Men det er også tanker og overvejelser, om hvad det at være forfatter gør ved ens liv, og hvordan man håndterer de spørgsmål, udfordringer og kriser, det fører med sig. Og således også et indblik i, hvordan Colum McCann selv har oplevet livet som forfatter.
