@brenpdx not at all. Business books rarely have more than short stylized vignettes. Historical biographies are closer. - Show replies

@thedataroom nope, you're not. Write something comparable to Geertz' Deep Play and you're in the running. -
@vgr That cuts me deep. You'll have to wait till I write an autoethnography in my old age, then. The stakes are currently too high to write. - Show replies

@andrewtrabulsi no, I'm being serious. There's no proper tradition of thick description. Segmentation etc. are all thin methods. - Show replies
