She's amazing for being prolific, and I am sure there are legions of faithful Oatesians out there, but I rarely hear her books discussed as much as her activity in producing them. I own a dozen JCO books, and have finished only one, the shortest. This may be the cruelest thing a fellow writer can say, that she loses me almost always. Be that as it may, 'The Faith of a Writer: life, craft, art' is a book worth reading, if you are a writer. I can't imagine a reader having much to glean from it, unless he or she is that curious kind of reader who doesn't want to 'ignore the man behind the curtain' as the Wizard says. Throughout the book JCO seeks to remind us how normal, mundane, even coarse a writer is, and that writer, having learned one's craft well enough,is mere conduit for expression than generator. "Writing exists. Writers do not," she says. "No one wants to believe this obvious truth: the artist can inhabit any individual, for the individual is irrelevant to the art." If this were true in some perfect form, I would have been able to finish all of the novels I lifted from the bookshelf. Perhaps she has corrupted her perception of the creative act as a thing stepped from a sci-fi tale, where the essence of cognitive energy takes a human form to be transmittable, and in doing so finds itself limited by that form, which is usually human, just to communicate. The book has the value of a workshop conversation, albeit one attended by a freakishly informed speaker. Its worth must be individual, and for that I recommend it. Reads wuickly enough: done in a day.
