At a time when people must work harder than ever to stand out from the crowd, the word creativity can seem vague and overused. But what exactly is creativity? Adrian McKerracher travels from Vancouver to Havana to Buenos Aires, leading listeners on a journey to discover poignant new insights into a life of letters. Through encounters with artists of all kinds, famous or obscure, McKerracher traces a socio-cultural history of the meaning of writing, each vignette a meditation on the way that metaphor limits and liberates understanding: creativity is a process, a possession, a relation, an algorithm, a game, and more. But What It Means to Write is far more than an archive of the figurative.
Along the way, a labyrinth of chance reunites McKerracher with old friends, threatens him with violence, and invites him to remain forever in a place both real and imagined. His journey from cafés to libraries to late-night living rooms embodies the structure of a bold new methodology for interpreting creativity, demonstrating the tools for working productively with ambiguity and rebuilding meaning, one metaphor at a time. Told in character-driven narrative pulses that reflect on the nature of belonging, understanding, and loving, What It Means to Write is a celebration of the possibilities of both language and silence.
The book is published by McGill-Queen’s University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

A little warning to whom it may concern:
Eyewitness accounts are not especially useful and shouldn’t be believed without supporting evidence. Why? Because there are 2 mechanisms that work inside human brain that make eyewitness accounts extremely untrustworthy, be it an account of an event, or even our own memory.
1. Filling the gaps - human memory works in a form of shorthand. It basically means that we remember key elements and extrapolate the rest. We notice patterns and impose these patterns on reality. With time, we’re forgetting more and more about the event, and we fill in the gaps with what is most probable from our point of view. The story, in time, has less and less of our originally recalled memories, and more of our “fillers”. This happens especially when the story is often recalled. Two people, after short time, will remember the same event completely differently, even if they stood right next to each other. After many years, their stories may not even be comparable.
2. Focusing on emotions and extrapolating - human memory focuses mostly on feelings, and not on complex logical elements of events. We remember smells, emotional states, impressions. We usually quickly forget facts. The more a memory is filled with feelings, the fewer of facts are recorded. This is the reason why strong emotional experiences are often forgotten, but anxiety and other mental consequences remain. that’s also why we’re so good at holding grudges, even though reasons for them are no longer valid.
Keep that in mind while reading eyewitness accounts. They are not gospel, even though people offering them try to be as honest as possible.
