"The book writes about a lot of things."
"I don't know what the book writes about."
Are these sentences above correct? I understand what they mean and I'm sure it's totally intelligible but I'm wondering if this is grammatically correct because it's not the book that does the action of writing. But I see expressions like "The newspaper wrote of him, '...'" So I wonder if those sentences are right.

I would say: The book is about a lot of things. I don't know what the book is about.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Inglés (US)
Because the book is not 'writing' or doing an action. It is written 'about' something

No. You could say, 'the author writes about...' but it sounds unnatural to say 'the book writes about' since it is an inanimate object.
