Steven Pressfield How I Write · Mar 2026 Why people recommend it
Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally is a powerful historical novel that chronicles the heroic efforts of Oskar Schindler to save over a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. On the podcast How I Write, Steven Pressfield brought up the work alongside its famous film adaptation to illustrate how even the most horrific and devastating subject matter must be crafted with artistic beauty. He noted that the director and the crew went to incredible pains to make every frame work. In a completely different context on Behind the Bastards, Garrison Davis also mentioned the novelization of Schindler's List while reading through a lengthy list of books that had been burned at a beach gathering. These diverse mentions demonstrate the enduring cultural and literary weight of Keneally's story, showing how it continues to resonate across various creative discussions, whether writers are analyzing the profound responsibilities of tackling dark historical themes with aesthetic precision or historians and commentators are reflecting on the tragic realities of censorship, persecution, and historical atrocities preserved within modern literature and film.
