Hmmmmm, I thought, surely some poor writer decided that growing grapes and smashing them might be a more productive pursuit than seeking an agent and publisher? Maaaaaybe\u2026.there\u2019s a story.

On their website, they tip their hat to writers of essays which they say is, \u201c\u2026an \u2018assemblage\u2019 or blending of things to create a whole greater than its parts.\u201d Kind of.
