The process of probing beneath and even shaving or sanding away the language undergirding literary works that, word by word, line by line and page by page, sustains a narrative's arc, contributes to the perspective of writer as architect. For it not only positions, but also reinforces the significance of line, mass, texture, balance, scale and proportion in a new world, a created structure and the spaces that organize it, that if expertly executed, endures over time.

Industry Reviews
The exploration of parallel concepts that both architects and writers utilize in their respective work, is no easy task. Even more impressive however, is Dr. Bridglall’s astute investigation of worlds imagined yet enduring; philosophical, poetic and fictional worlds in which ideas of identity, truth, nature, beauty and belonging collide and unfold in chaos, conflict, and occasionally, enlightenment. Worlds in which we can train our lenses on characters, sometimes very much like ourselves, and observe as they struggle to understand and bring human shape to their world. This book reinforces the power of literature, particularly for our students, as they navigate their way in an increasingly complex and diverse world.
