The Laughing String: Thoughts on Writing

By Stephen Evans

The Laughing String collects author and playwright Stephen Evans' thoughts on writing and the writing life: what inspires him, what confuses him, and what makes him smile.

The title comes from a poem by W. B. Yeats:

"Bred to a harder thing

Than Triumph, turn away

And like a laughing string

Whereon mad fingers play

Amid a place of stone,

Be secret and exult,

Because of all things known

That is most difficult."

This new edition includes an appendix containing the author's undergraduate thesis entitled "A Phenomenology of Art".
