I became friends with Rebeca Schiller, editor of the literary review and essay site Alvah’s books, when I wrote her a guest post called Literary Mashing, or Zombies Don’t Dance. And now I’m back at her site discussing the place of literature in history.
This piece actually turned up later as a pivotal chapter in my first book on writing, The Art & Craft of Writing: A Practitioner’s Manual, under the title “Stepping into History Through Literature.” But it all started at here. . .
