| Why it’s on the list | The photographer Sally Mann on the working life of making things — reached via a passage about writing letters honestly enough to be embarrassed by them later. |
Where I heard about it
- @mhdempsey — quoted the book’s passage on letter-writing at length on X (December 2025): “your letters in all their searing honesty will stand for you for all time.”
Connections
- Republic of Letters — correspondence as a form with its own standards.
- Creativity — the craft-life side rather than the inspiration side.
- Michael Dempsey — the post that surfaced the passage.
