In
2005, Tim McCreight wrote "The Syntax of Objects," his first foray
into the genre called creative nonfiction. His elegant book consists
of short musings on the relationship we have with the objects in our
lives. As a maker of objects, he wonders out loud about the way our
memories and senses relate to decisions about what we make and how
we go about making choices in the studio and in our living material
world. The revised edition uses the same text, but packages it in
a smaller and thicker volume. The new Syntax augments the text
with pinhole camera images like the original edition, but this book
includes more of them.
