What did your first blow of hammer to chisel upon your first block of stone feel like?""It hurt. I was no tool for this task. Too small, too weak, too human. Stone needs God to carve it, not a weakened heart like mine. But there was nothing for it but to try. The others would have laughed."In 1992, during a visit to a bookstore, a very unlikely book on a very unlikely subject found its way into the hands of Jeffrey Norberry: a psychoanalytic study of the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Inexplicably captured by the subject matter, Jeffrey began formulating a plan to bring the idea to the stage in the form of a theatrical production. During his research for the project, Jeffrey crossed paths with another author, Connor Cochran, who, at first, seemed like an excellent resource on the subject of creativity. Connor had a hidden agenda, however; a secret actually, which became clear after he responded to a list of twenty questions Jeffrey might want to ask Michelangelo were he alive todayFrom the Author's Note: "Whatever your personal feelings regarding the methodology underlying this book - pro or con, dubious or delighted - do not mistake the resulting text for a work of fiction. It is not. The pagesahead are a documentary record of the interviews and the process that generated them. This is how things happened. This is what was said to us by these voices from the pastFrom the preface by William E. Wallace, Ph.D. Professor of Art and Architecture, Washington University in St. Louis: "This is not a work of scholarship in the conventional sense. This is not the kind of book I write; nor is it even the sort of book I generally read. But this is not my book [...] We might say, this is Michelangelo's book, and I read it in a single sitting. You may, as I did, have questions about the methods and some of the results you read here. But unless you are entirely bereft of imagination and simple human curiosity, you will find these conversations fascinating, even compelling...and closer to the truth than you may care to admit.
