Thriller Crime
In the vein of The Creative Habit and The Artist’s Way, a
new manifesto on the creative process from a master of the
impossible.
Since well before his epic 1974 walk between the Twin Towers
of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit had become an
artist who answered first and foremost to the demands of his
craft—not only on the high wire, but also as a magician,
street juggler, visual artist, builder, and writer. A born
rebel like many creative people, he was from an early age a
voracious learner who taught himself, cultivating the
attitudes, resources, and techniques to tackle even
seemingly impossible feats. His outlaw sensibility spawned a
unique approach to the creative process—an approach he
shares, with characteristic enthusiasm, irreverence, and
originality in Creativity: The Perfect Crime. Making the reader his accomplice, Petit reveals new and
unconventional ways of going about the artistic endeavor,
from generating and shaping ideas to practicing and
problem-solving to pulling off the “coup” itself—executing a
finished work. The strategies and insights he shares will
resonate with performers of every stripe (actors, musicians,
dancers) and practitioners of the non-performing arts
(painters, writers, sculptors), and also with ordinary
mortals in search of fresh ways of tackling the challenges
and possibilities of everyday existence.
