ON SEEING AS AN ARTIST
OR,
OR,
FIVE TECHNIQUES FOR A JOURNEY TO EINFÜHLUNG
REMARKS BY C.M. MAYO
REMARKS BY C.M. MAYO
But in this talk I would like to put on my sombrero, as it were, as an historical novelist, and although my novel, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire, is about Mexico, I don’t want to talk so much about Mexico as I do five simple, powerful techniques that have helped me, and that I hope will help you to see as an artist and write across borders and cultures.
