It&#8217;s a little corny; the fruit metaphor wears dangerously thin at points and the heavy emphasis on ritual and mythology just makes me feel like a new-age crazy, but it&#8217;s got some interesting writing exercises that are bound to come out funny if not poignant. For example, to get started, I am to take a mango and ogle it for a bit, smelling it and feeling it up, then slice it up and sensuously break one of the slices in half, reveling in the juices running everywhere. And then I&#8217;m supposed to smear it on my face or something. I can&#8217;t imagine sitting down to write after that experience. I would have to wash that shit off of my face and hands lest I stain my immaculate white keyboard. I think I, along with much of my generation, am too far removed from nature to go back now.
