Carla Needleman: The work of craft (Paperback, 1993, Kodansha International) 3 stars

Interesting and frustrating

3 stars

This book, ostensibly a philosophy of craft as art, it’s also a polemic for understanding and hat craft is a tool for discovering one’s inner truths. It has so many interesting ideas but is written so poorly that it’s easy to lose them in the mess of dangling clauses and mixed metaphors. When I did catch what she was trying to say, I didn’t know his agree with her, but it made me think.
