India Ink's Odyssey Through History and Myth
A humorous yet factual look at India ink tracing its origins in ancient China, its accidental discovery, evolving production, and cultural quirks. The piece notes kiln traditions, musk aromas, sepia influences, and gods inhabiting ink, then shifts to Wichita county's pauperless status and light vignettes about theater outings and daily worries.
