AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'After my second book came out, I was asked to do a lecture on 'Writing as Method'. I wasn't sure what the term meant but I said yes because it was flattering to think my method was good enough to warrant talking about it. On top of that, the audience was mostly post-grads and I felt very empathetic towards them. I remember how it felt to write a thesis; sitting there day after day, deleting, rewriting, and wondering what I was doing wrong.'  (Publication abstract)
