Chapter 2 begins with a quote by William H. Gass:

Simplicity is not a given. It is an achievement, a human invention, a discovery, a beloved belief.

It is from this starting point that Virginia Tufte masterfully dissects Gass’ construct above to reveals its underlying literate complexity. I always knew that writing isn’t simple, and I was glad to see the craft so well organize-ed.

    What a coincidence - I just spent the past week reading LOS and my copy of Artful just arrived.
