The Humble Paragraph: Part 1
About this episode
Sally Bayley discusses the organization of paragraphs in writing while editing her novel, drawing insights from Shirley Hazzard's work.
‘Most of writing is…trying to organise the paragraph into a unit of thought.’ This week, in the first of a two part episode on the writing process, we join Sally in the midst of editing her next novel, Mrs Parnell, considering the organisation of her paragraphs with the help of Shirley Hazzard’s Transit in Venus (1980). Listen for a reflection on visual language, and the choreography of ideas which shape narrative. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
