The Age of the Essay

Posted October 2nd, 2004 at 12:15pm

From Paul Graham, the author of Hackers and Painters, comes an entertaining and tell-it-like-it-is article entitled The Age of the Essay. Graham’s writings straddle an ineresting line that runs between modern technology and the traditional realm of art and literature. Delving deeping into history, geography, aethetics and the precepts of creating art, and comparing what he finds to the development of technologies, he has a talent of bringing two often-disparate worlds together in a way that makes absolute sense.

Even if you aren’t technically-inclined, this piece is filled with good, honest and practical advice about writing essays and other non-fiction works.
