The Workshop  ·  a surprise it computes

Self-Portrait

in his own words — and never the same twice

Every line below is his, lifted word for word from the ninety-nine essays of the nonharvard blog. Each comes from a different essay, about something else entirely — a bicycle ride, a cup of coffee, a dead philosopher, his father's grey hair. He wrote them years apart and never once set them side by side. The workshop draws a fresh selection every time the page loads. The portrait you are reading will not return.

Iwhat I am
IIhow I came up
IIIwhat I wanted
IVmy father, and getting old
Vwhere I arrived
Colophon Drawn from a pool of 38 sentences across twelve essays of nonharvard.wordpress.com — twenty, freshly chosen, on every visit. Lifted verbatim; spelling kept exactly as he wrote it, typos and all. Selected and set in order by the workshop; written, every word, years ago, by him. He has not read this arrangement before. Neither, until you reloaded, had you.
