An essay collection exploring his education as a man, writer, and activist - and how we form our identities in life and in art.
As a novelist, Alexander Chee has been described as "masterful" by Roxane Gay, "incendiary" by the New York Times, and "brilliant" by the Washington Post. With How to Write an Autobiographical Novel, his first collection of nonfiction, he is sure to secure his place as one of the finest essayists of his generation as well.
How to Write an Autobiographical Novel is the author's manifesto on the entangling of life, literature, and politics, and how the lessons learned from a life spent reading and writing fiction have changed him. In these essays, he grows from student to teacher, reader to writer, and reckons with his identities as a son, a gay man, a Korean American, an artist, an activist, a lover, and a friend. He examines some of the most formative experiences of his life and the nation's history, including his father's death, the AIDS crisis, 9/11, the jobs that supported his writing - Tarot-reading, bookselling, cater-waiting for William F. Buckley - the writing of his first novel, Edinburgh, and the election of Donald Trump.
By turns commanding, heartbreaking, and wry, How to Write an Autobiographical Novel asks questions about how we create ourselves in life and in art and how to fight when our dearest truths are under attack.

This book is essential reading for writers and those who love books. It is really three books: 1. How to Write, a primer on what makes writing powerful, moving, evocative, urgent, and necessary. The lessons in this portion of the book are some of the most important and well-explained tidbits. In two cases, Chee took old axioms I've heard again and again and showed me the rationale behind them--why the are true--and now I understand them. 2. Autobiographical, an exploration of Chee's life, in which he has borne witness to exceptional moments, who has wrestled with a complicated past and rendered all of those moments so clearly it feels as though we are being told a richly drawn secret. I don't know what it is quite yet, but there is something about the way this book is written that feels both exceptionally public and deeply intimate. Reading it is like going on the best first five dates of your life. Chee is one of our best public intellectuals, made stronger by the fact that I don't think he sees himself as more than a careful observer. 3. Novel, a cohesive story of many moving parts, one that coalesces into a sum greater than those parts. There is Chee, the protagonist, and his first novel, a sometimes antagonist, and in some ways this book of essays evokes Odysseus making his way back home--a long journey with many sidetracks, each of which enriches the story told and deepens our experience.
I had enjoyed Alexander Chee's essay "Girl" in the Best American Essays collection, but had no idea of the range of his thought and depth of his care. These essays range from fun to heartbreaking, provocative to inspiring. I particularly am in awe of the last essay "Becoming an American Writer". I too have been bewildered about Auden's contention that "Poetry makes nothing happen". Chee challenges Auden's false humility faithfully and masterfully. This essay reminds me of God's challenge to another prophet: "Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them." (Ezekiel 2:5). I have a new literary hero now! I look forward to reading Alexander Chee's novels.
In Alexander Chee’s HOW TO WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL, he goes deep into his past, his boyhood, life as a student, the years leading up to becoming a writer, and a trauma that he gently reveals as he discovered he was not really past the pain as he had not yet acknowledged the hurt.In the book, Chee’s dedication to his craft, and how using his own stories and sharing his beliefs, enabled him to become a better writer. It is clear how immensely talented he is not only in the way his written words so effortlessly seep into you, but in the way, he pours his heart and soul into this book. It is a gift to his fellow writers as well as to any reader who appreciates how a book comes to life. It is both encouraging and wise. It is the stuff of what makes readers admire authors for the hard work that they do and how we, as readers, fall in love with great books.
Alexander Chee, in this collection of exquisitely written essays, proves once again why he is one of the best writers in the world. These essays are clear and measured and, quite often, magical. Prepare to be dazzled.
The author is one of the most talented writers working today, and this look at his life and motivation for writing is fascinating. It probably could have used a little more autobiographical detail, but it’s still thought provoking.
No one writes like Alexander Chee, by which I mean that nobody perceives the way he does the heartbreak and exuberance and the utter, glorious mess of living from day to day. This is poignantly clear in his fiction—it is even more so in this essay collection with its Woolfian attention to beauty and to the minute particulars of being human. Chee's wisdom and insight is exquisitely his own, and yet it is also a gift and a guide to all of us. I'm so jealous of everyone who is discovering this author for the first time. For myself, I will cherish this work like I do everything Alex Chee writes. Read cover to cover, obviously, but you'll want to take especial time with "The Rosary."
The essays in this book are so powerful. I am finding them life-changing. Alexander Chee's writing should be required reading--it just makes my heart open up. Highly recommend.
there is extraordinary wisdom, love, beauty in these essays. chee has a strong, sure voice and writes about the spaces between things, the intersections between art and activism, in a way i haven't seen done before. 'the writing life' was gold. '1989' made my blood boil, showed me myself. 'after peter' destroyed me."we lacked models for bravery and were trying to invent them," chee writes, "as we had likewise invented models for loving and activism." he was talking about being part of the gay community in san francisco at a certain time. but in writing these essays, chee has become a model - of loving and activism, of why we write and how - for me. five stars. endless love. thank you, alexander chee.
