This piece traces the story of a big construction project, using character to focus and drive the narrative.
This story about the construction of Boston's new Institute of Contemporary Art building is a good example of involving readers in an overarching narrative, covering a lot of ground in relatively short space. It's the kind of topic a paper often covers, the big construction project of great interest to readers. Edgers' clear prose, his choice of key moments in the life of the project and particularly his focus on one character's struggle to succeed -- all make for an engaging read.
