The Art of Perspective: Brace

6/30/2016

There is no more important decision the writer makes than who tells the story, because, whoever that narrator is, he will compel us to tell it his way, with his frames of reference, his agenda and lexicon and baggage, within his particular wedge of time. Introduction: To Seeing Each Other Again, in The Art of Perspective, Christopher Castellani

Update, June 30, 2016

6/30/2016

 
Reading newest Graywolf Press The Art of Series book, Christopher Castellani's The Art of Perspective, in which Castellani defines craft beautifully and helpfully as "an informed bet an author makes on the set of tools at her disposal." Am excited to pair photos I've taken with this book, to see what conversations develop and what insights the combinations reveal.

intrinsic (adj.)
late 15c., "interior, inward, internal," from Middle French intrinsèque "inner" (14c.), from Medieval Latin intrinsecus "interior, internal," from Latin intrinsecus (adv.) "inwardly, on the inside," from intra "within" (see intra-) + secus "along, alongside," from PIE *sekw-os- "following," suffixed form of root *sekw- (1) "to follow" (see sequel).

The form in English was conformed to words in -ic by 18c. Meaning "belonging to the nature of a thing" is from 1640s. Related: Intrinsical; intrinsically.
