What is it about?
The article takes the fiction and non-fiction of renowned critic and scholar George Steiner as a case study to investigate the relationship between critical writing and more nominally-supposed creative writing. Steiner is a perfect way to investigate this problematic as, comparatively speaking, he has written so little fiction compared to non-fiction, even though he is just as stellar a writer in the latter as well as the former.

Why is it important?
Steiner's fiction is deeply, gravely underrated, or at least, under-read.
Perspectives
This working-paper was important to me, as it allowed me to search myself, and how my own far less copious critical and creative work dovetail with each other.
