An addicitively solipsistic trawl through a well-connected literary Rolodex (Dan Crowe, founding editor of Zembla), seeking the answer to one of life’s eternal questions; how do you write? Most of the contributing writers are elusively vague, attaching sentimental superstition to a wide range of trinkets, views, desks and rituals. We like Chip Kidd, who writes direct to Quark. And Nicholson Baker, who swears that earplugs are all he needs to seal himself off from the world.
