A Shimmer of Possibility
Inspired by the short stories of Anton Chekhov
Chekhov's six principles that make a good story:
1. absence of lengthy verbiage of a political-social-economic nature
2. total objectivity
3. truthful descriptions of persons and objects
4. extreme brevity
5. audacity and originality: flee the stereotype
6. compassion
A Dictionary Story
"When it comes to typography language always comes first. This might seem like a fairly obvious statement to make but to find this harmony between content and form is incredible hard."
If I could only feel the weight, smell the ink and glue, listen to the subtle crackle open. Guess I will have to make my own. ; )

I agree wholeheartedly with Chekov. Though, like Sam Winston's thoughts on typography, really hard to accomplish these things in the right formula.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.

Beautiful recipe for a tale.
I have no opinions, but I like the look of these books.
