Architectures of Possibility: After Innovative Writing | Lance Olsen

1 post | 2 read | 3 to read

"Architectures of Possibility" theorizes and questions the often unconscious assumptions behind such traditional writing gestures as temporality, scene, and characterization; offers various suggestions for generating writing that resists, rethinks, and challenges authors to push their work into self-aware and surprising territory.

Architectures of Possibility: After Innovative Writing | Lance Olsen

bailed

This book frustrates me. It spends several chapters talking about the value of innovation and experimentation with form and questioning assumptions (👍) and how all innovation is inherently good and art is dead (👎) in very flowery language that annoys me even when I agree with the ideas.

Then you get to the actual writing advice and it's just the same beginner advice you can get anywhere, but more pretentious. Not a good use of my time, I think.
