The essays were originally published in various journals such as The Age Monthly Review, Meanjin and Scripsi over a period of twenty years from 1984 to 2003 and include many reflections on Murnane's own writing and his reading, particularly in essays such as "Why I Write What I Write" and "The Breathing Author".
