love this "Manzoni labored over this novel—his only one—for a good twenty years." i know publishers don't like this level of input (one book per life) but it makes me firmly believe that he didn't want to waste the reader's time by churning out dozens of lesser works.
Thank you for this ode to slow writing! "The most consequential decision that I made was to write out my first draft by hand, using a fountain pen.” I look forward to reading this with everyone....
