Book Club
I will announce our next pick soon :)
My sincere thanks to everyone who came to the most recent meeting of the Subtle Maneuvers Book Club, on July 26; it was a pleasure to talk through The Situation and the Story with you all, and unpack Vivian Gornick’s ideas about persona, texture, “purposeful innerliness,” writing as “a journey of attitudes,” and lots more.
For paid subscribers who’d like to review my slide show of resonant quotes/ideas from the book, you can view it at the link right here ↓↓↓


I love your book club idea and the first title sounds amazing. Will you be sharing the video or transcript / highlights? It's a bit too late for me here in the UK to attend live.
I'm really curious about this book. Why would someone, that would be you Mason, who has done so much research and writing on the "How do they do It" question regarding artists (AND women artist on top of it!) think so highly of it? It's on its way! I'm looking forward to Book Club!
