A content more volatile: than what contains it. This is a brief talk on narrative and the nervous system: how syntax, for example, registers the non-verbal aspects: of the scene. What is a scene? How can performances build the novel from the bottom-up, the inside-out? How might [could] a writer return to writing what is not or never the writing-to-be? "A sentence is a nerve throbbing on the riverbank." And so on. With some thinking about how a novelist might overcome the extreme sense: of being exposed: to view. What the novel-shaped space is. Rather than the novel: itself.
