Title

• Not knowing

Summary

• Mr. Barthelme delivers a lecture in which he presents "not knowing" as a mental stance crucial to the creation of art and literature because it allows the mind to move in unanticipated directions without which there would be no invention. The writer, he says, is a man who, embarking on a task, does not know what to do.
