The Mystery of the Cleaning Lady: A Writer Looks at Obsession, Creativity and Neuroscience

Bestselling author Sue Woolfe takes us on a very personal search, exploring the connections between neuroscience and the ‘felt experiences’ that inform the art of storytelling. Using Eva - the cleaning lady protagonist from her acclaimed 2003 novel The Secret Cure - as both catalyst and metaphor, Woolfe explores Western science, psychology and epistemology for clues to better understanding the creative writing process.This is a must-read for readers, writers and anyone interested not only in what it means to be creative, but also how creativity can inform and enrich both art and life.
