Just finished reading Zola's "The Masterpiece" and I fucking loved it.

What other books out there are like it, in terms of subject? I'm looking for more good narratives about artists (Not just painters but also sculptors and writers and musicians and etc.) and their struggles with the artistic process.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 16 14:50:39 2015 No.7242803 The Masterpiece is a fun read considering how it's partly based on Paul Gauguin, the sperg master. Op, read Boredom (Moravia) and Borges' Circular Ruins.
