What We Were Doing and Where We Were Going (2009) is Damion Searls’s collected shorter prose, a single volume that preceded the more substantial non-fiction books he would produce in subsequent years. It gathers essays and shorter pieces in a format that allows a more associative engagement with his interests than The Inkblots or The Philosophy of Translation.

For readers of Searls, it is an early work that shows the intellectual range he would apply more focused in later projects. It is less essential than his non-fiction books but worth reading for anyone interested in his writing beyond translation.
