Two authors compare notes today on the act of writing. Roland Allen’s The Notebook deep dives into the history of this humble invention, providing a tantalising glimpse into the privately recorded thoughts of some of history’s finest intellects. Meanwhile, Hattie Crisell’s In Writing uncovers the mysteries of the creative process through interviews with our most-read contemporary writers. What does this human desire to put words down tell us about ourselves?
