title: A Dangerous Profession : A Book About the Writing Life
author:  Frederick Busch 
description: Part memoir, part literary criticism, novelist Frederick Busch's <i>A Dangerous Profession</i> could serve as a warning to post on the door of every creative-writing program in the nation. Take, for instance, Busch on the glamour of the writer's life: "Yes, the thrill of rising at 5:30 a.m. and writing in the dark cold, or typing late at night after jobs that eat our hearts and livers..." Or Busch on the literary marketplace: "Something that is part of the gift is also a compulsion: that we seek the darkness, not the light; that we serve up grindings of glass in blood sauce rather than the Fifth Avenue souffl most readers want." Or, finally, Busch on the attitude of the world at large to writers: "...we are the enemy."
