INVENT(ST)ORYING ... THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE?

Writers write. Some write more than others, and publish more. It's an exercise, and a maintenance of an order, to write. You can't sit back waiting for the Muses.

These concerns and interests embrace cultural, historical, aesthetic, social, and political elements.
