What is form as the world's architecture?
Show answer
The form of a piece is not a container for the world; it is part of the world's construction. A fractured form builds a fractured reality; an epistolary form builds a world known only through what its letters reveal and withhold; a recursive form builds a world that cannot escape its own returns. When you experiment with form, you are deciding the shape the reader's experience of the world will take.
