Steven Pressfield

Forfatterbiografi

Steven Pressfield (født 1. september 1943) er en amerikansk forfatter, kendt for både historiske romaner, manuskripter og nonfiction-bøger om skabende arbejde. Han har udgivet værker, der kredser om erfaringerne fra krig, disciplin og den indre kamp, der kan blokere et menneske, når det vil gøre sit arbejde færdigt. Pressfield er især blevet læst for sin teori om “Resistance”, som udfoldes i nonfictionbogen The War of Art (udgivet i 2002). I denne bog beskriver han, hvordan kreative mennesker kan genkende og modarbejde den modstand, der forsinker og afsporer produktionsviljen. Pressfields bagkatalog rummer også historiske romaner, herunder Gates of Fire (udgivet i 1998). Romanen blev anerkendt i udvalgs- og prisregi, og hans skrivning forbindes dermed både med fortællekunst i stor historisk skala og med praktiske indsigter i, hvad der skal til for at “komme i gang” og holde ved. Med sit fokus på kunstnerisk vedholdenhed har Pressfield sat spor i samtidens læsning af kreativitet som et arbejde, man træner og gennemfører, frem for et talent, man bare har.
