“Write the introduction last” is excellent advice: you don’t know what it should say until the rest is written. OTOH, writing a throw-away introduction helps you figure out what the piece is about.

I just re-read the intro to _In the Cells of the Eggplant_, which I wrote 2.5 years ago. It was shockingly bad. Juvenile & off-point. Having not had much time to write since then, I wouldn’t have expected any intellectual maturing… background process?https://meaningness.com/eggplant/opening …

I’ve removed some of the worst bits. Writing a new intro seems high priority… even if it’s another throw-away to help me understand what the rest of the book needs to cover.
