Dave Newman, acclaimed as one of our generation's finest writers, delivers a raw, vivid, and deeply human collection of essays on the writing life in How to Live Like Li Po in Pittsburgh. In this remarkable book, Newman guides us through his journey of finding his voice amidst the gritty, industrial backdrop of Pittsburgh. His essays are imbued with the authenticity and hardship of his experiences, from the dimly lit bars to the desolate backroads and truck stops frequented by sex workers. Newman's writing is a testament to Hemingway's assertion that "in order to write about life, first you must live it." His narrative is a poignant reflection on the sacrifices and dedication required to pursue one's muse and perfect one's craft. These essays offer a candid look into the trials and tribulations faced by a writer striving to maintain artistic integrity while navigating the relentless demands of everyday life. Throughout the book, Newman's prose captures the essence of a life lived on the margins, where emotional honesty and raw truth take precedence over conventional storytelling. His experiences, from working dead-end jobs to struggling through the isolating rigors of truck driving, form the backbone of his writing, demonstrating that true artistry is forged in the crucible of lived experience, not in the sterile confines of academia. A beautifully written, deeply moving account of what it takes to find one's voice as a writer. It is an essential read for aspiring writers and anyone interested in the intersection of life and art. Newman's essays remind us that writing comes from the heart, soul, and countless hours at the desk, driven by the need to tell one's truth in a world that often seems indifferent.
