This is more than a memoir. Mach had written an honest review not only about his life, but has shown the many obstacles he faced as a writer. He had demonstrated his writing prowess by showing how he wrote a novel at 17, then later became stringer for a newspaper chain, then an editor of two magazines, a university lecturer, and an award-winning author of fiction and poetry. He concludes with listing ten important lessons he had learned,and from which readers would benefit--whether they are writers or not.
