Architectures of Possibility challenges the often unconscious assumptions behind conventional writing practices: how and why, for instance, time, scene, and characterization function. It also tracks a number of trends in contemporary writing, such as electronic literature and literary activism, and sketches in the current marketplace, while providing many exercises and supplemental reading lists. In addition, it provides more than 40 interviews with such innovative authors as Robert Coover, Lydia Davis, Brian Evenson, Shelley Jackson, Ben Marcus, Carole Maso, D. Harlan Wilson and Scott McCloud. Instead of suggesting rules or guidelines for writing, as most traditional writing guides do, Architectures of Possibility argues writing is a "possibility space where everything can and should be considered, attempted, and troubled."
