Fascinating insights on how Caro writes and interviews, and interesting snippets of the lives of Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson. Ironically for the mini-memoir of a perfectionist writer though, this felt quite slapdash and contained a lot of duplication. In fairness, the author calls it out fairly explicitly as a kind of stopgap in case he never gets to write an actual full autobiography.

I found the overall message of the book great, and it made me want to write more. “Fieldstones” are small pieces of information, quotes, ideas etc which have “energy” for you - they are inspiring or interesting, they spark something for you. If you gather these all the time, you’ll end up having enough “fieldstones” to make various “walls” (books, articles etc). The book gives lots of detail on how to collect them, and on the process of writing - how to combine the stones to make something that retains the initial spark of the original pieces. The downsides are that the book felt longer than it needed to be, and that the wall / writing analogy felt a bit stretched at times.
