I swear half of my writing is meta-writing: it’s the set up, telling you all about what I’m going to do, giving you all the hand holds you might need. I like doing that, actually, because there are so many points I want to make about how I’m going about the topic — why I took a left and not a right back on Front Street, what the metaphor is that’s guiding my thinking, why it’s thread of work and not a body of work, and the likes. But what I love about Greg Dimitriadis’ writing is how he jumped right in without all the meta-writing. You were in the analysis alongside him before you knew it. His writing was so narratively friendly, and I think that’s another quality that made the jump-in analysis work so well.
