Matthew Battles explores the questions of why writing exists and
what it means to those who write. Born from the interplay of
natural and cultural history, the seemingly magical act of writing
has continually expanded our consciousness. It has been used as
both an instrument of power and a channel of the divine; a means of
social bonding and of individual self-definition. Now, as the
revolution once wrought by the printed word gives way to the
digital age, many fear that the art of writing-and the nuanced
thinking nurtured by writing-are under threat. But writing itself,
despite striving for permanence, is always in the midst of growth
and transfiguration. Celebrating the impulse to record, to invent,
to make one's mark, Battles re-enchants the written word for all
those susceptible to the power and beauty of writing in all its
forms.
