Preface | The Bibliography of a Writing Life
Part I of II
Part I. Essayful
For most of human history, the bibliography of a writing life was brutish and short, often curtailed by one (or more) of the Four Horsemen. Geography, too, played an obstructive role. Tragically often, vast swathes of space and time stood between the right book and right reader, the right writer. Who knows how many Shakespeares or Steinbecks never stumbled upon the Muse, deprived of greatness by a poorly-stocked bookshop or badly-stacked shelf.
With the rise of Internet, however, spacetime has conspired against the hungry writer from the opposite flank. As Newton fell before Einstein, the linear world of library aisles and bookshelves has collapsed into a flat circle—everything, everywhere, all at once.
The famine has become a feast, though one of Borgesian proportions. Thus, with a frustration reminiscent of Midas with the golden touch, or Tantalus torn between water and grapes, the hungry writer remains so.
Digitalized classics, Kindle bestsellers, style manuals, academic journals, literary magazines, writerly memoirs, obscure blogs, old interviews, Twitter threads, Reddit posts… No longer confined to a secondhand copy of Paris Review or the newest edition of Strunk and White, the student of writing now stands before a tyranny of choice: paralyzed, perplexed. Where to begin?
Enter, Essayful—a new home for writing, whose purpose is not to become the place to which all roads lead, but the place from which all roads can be travelled.
Not a manifesto, but a map.
II. The Origins
The forthcoming tower of books and articles (1,703 books, 2,667 articles, and counting) has been under construction for a little under a decade. It began during my time studying English at Trinity College Dublin, continued during my time researching New Media at the University of Amsterdam, and has devoured my time ever since. Its origins? Entirely private, entirely pragmatic: merely a means of becoming a better writer than everyone around me, everyone up ahead. So, rest assured: every book and article has been carefully read by me, calculatedly researched for me, or convincingly recommended to me. There are no partisan inclusions, no partisan exclusions: everything is on the table.
Most of the literature deals with writing directly, some does so obliquely—but such is life; modern life, particularly. Thus, the bibliography errs on the side of the polymath.
Interdisciplinary times call for interdisciplinary measures, after all.
The bibliography consists of twenty sections, whose contents are arranged alphabetically: at least, for now. The thought of ranking each book and article did cross my mind, but second thoughts—of hubris and humility, mostly—crossed soon thereafter.
Thus, for the time being, I have limited myself to removing the lowest rung of literature from the list (the pulp nonfiction, as it were), opening each section with “Five of the Greatest” books and papers, whilst making note of other particularly notable works with an emboldened lemniscate (∞).
To conclude, then, a note on the future of the bibliography, which will serve as the epistemic foundation for Essayful as a whole—a touchstone for every Substack essay and Twitter post to come.
For though construction nears completion, renovations will follow. Herein lies the beauty of Substack: a platform that allows for liquid, living documents. Today, as I write, a few hundred books and articles are marked with a checked box (☒), while a few thousand are marked with an empty one (☐). Over the coming months and years, however, as I read, the number of books neighboured by a triumphal ☒ will rise, stealthily as a tide. My prolificacy—or lack thereof—will be visible for all to see. Moreover, as long as new books are written, old papers rediscovered, the bibliography will grow and grow fitter, evolving with the times.
Evolution does not look fondly on closed systems, however. Thus, the bibliography will remain forever open to the wisdom of fellow readers and writers. Suggestions, questions, commentary, criticism: all forms of feedback are not only welcome, but wished for. If the comments below come to hold as much value as the bibliography above, hallelujah.

Preface | The Bibliography of a Writing Life
This is awesome, Dylan. Some suggestions:
"The Reader over Your Shoulder: A Handbook for Writers of English Prose" by Robert Graves and Alan Hodge. Makes a moral case for clarity of expression. Wish I'd read it decades ago.
"Frank Sinatra Has a Cold," by Gay Talese. Gorgeous piece of nonfiction writing.
Anything by Mencken. That guy knew how to write a goddamn sentence.
Someday this will be a tremendously large and useful list, or maybe even a community. And I want to get in early with the first participatory comment and say: The Craft of Research by Booth is an excellent book. Super useful, written in a clear style that isn't too conversational. It is written in a way that an advanced high schooler could understand it, but I'm a decade into my academic career and still use/reference it regularly. I use it to teach an undergraduate research course. Beyond all this, it makes perhaps the best argument for "pure research" I've ever heard--in I think, chapter 3? Of the fifth edition? It outlines the difference between applied and pure research and gives a much needed full-chested celebration of how pure research is the one of the most intellectually rewarding activities any of us can engage in. I talk about it in issue nine of my newsletter: https://charliebecker.substack.com/i/57756334/the-importance-of-audience-and-the-merits-of-pure-research
