What about knowing what a writer had never written down—wasn’t that the real knowledge of who she was?
Unwritten books. Unrealized art. The unmade has such power. What art are we missing and from who and at what stage of life? Many awards exist for people under 35 or under 40. But what about celebrating art and writing from people who come to it later, full of lived experiences that enrich the work they make, like the brilliant Irish novelist Louise Kennedy who was a chef for twenty years before writing fiction?
