The Making Of A Novelist
An Experiment In Autobiography
Produced by David Widger
"The Making of a Novelist" by David Christie Murray is an autobiographical work written in the late 19th century. This book provides an exploration of the author’s experiences and journey towards becoming a novelist, blending personal stories with insights into the literary world of that era. Murray's narrative suggests a candid and reflective examination of his struggles, adventures, and the lessons learned throughout his career in journalism and fiction writing. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Murray's early days in London, where he recalls arriving without resources and facing significant challenges. He shares vivid memories of loneliness, hunger, and the serendipitous moments that ultimately led to his first friendships and opportunities in the city. As he reflects on past hardships, he delves into his encounters in journalistic roles, from covering dramatic events like the execution of a criminal to assessing the plight of the working classes. This blend of personal history and reflection sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his evolution as a novelist while providing a poignant commentary on the broader human experience.
