How I write Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s wrote a post on “How I Write”. “That was the period when I very badly wanted to satisfy my failed childhood dream to produce literature” We have one thing in common, or rather had; since Taleb is a published author! “Predictably, I refused to be edited, feeling that it disrupts the inner harmony of the text; the manuscript showed a fiercely stubborn personality, which editors easily confirmed upon meeting its author.” Taleb’s idiosyncracy defines his work and is to be cherished.
