The Laughing String collects author and playwright Stephen Evans’ thoughts on writing and the writing life: what inspires him, what confuses him, and what makes him smile.The title comes from a poem by W. B. Yeats:'Bred to a harder thingThan Triumph, turn awayAnd like a laughing stringWhereon mad fingers playAmid a place of stone,Be secret and exult,Because of all things knownThat is most difficult.'This new edition includes an appendix containing the author’s undergraduate thesis entitled 'A Phenomenology of Art'.
