Abstract
This is a collection of three personal essays, two of which are each coupled with an encyclopedia article also written by the author that deals with significant places in the author's life. Through the experience of writing in diverse forms, the author seeks to resolve for himself the connections between personal writing and more formal genres. As a common subject linking the two different types of writing, the concept of “place” is also explored. The author discusses relevant influences on his writing, reflects on the experience of writing in two different forms and discusses some conclusions in an afterward.
