![]() Now, seven years after releasing her award-winning The Company They Keep in 2009, Glyer has taken the core ideas and original research for scholars and found a way to share it with everyone. A lot of the work I do is in dialogue with Glyer’s-including the work I did before I read The Company They Keep. ![]() ![]() The painstaking investment of time, the careful scouring of archives and texts over years and years led to one of those rare scholarly achievements: a book that changes the way we think about the authors we love to read. I don’t know how long her The Company They Keep took to write from concept to cover, but it was at least a couple of decades. Still, even when my confidence is highest, I admire that slow and steady scholar, the artist who paints leaf by leaf, the writer who writes bird by bird.ĭiana Pavlac Glyer is one of the latter kind of wordsmiths. It took a decade for me to figure this out-and another half-decade to be okay with it-but I know how I work best. ![]() I benefit from binges of work, closeted away to get down what’s been rolling around my chest for hours or days. I am a rapid writer, someone who works in fits and starts. ![]()
