catchall rubric, missal, hymn, hymnal,

Authors are seen as rather serene, noble characters, licking their pencils, perpetually looking out the window for inspiration – not bound to the nine to five like the rest of us, but picking beautiful sentences out of the air like passing butterflies, which they trap and affix decoratively to the page.


If only it were like that.

 One World School House is a partly a hymnal for future donors, in which Khan gamely plugs a riches-to-rags storyline. A Louisiana native, he was president of his MIT class, earned an MBA at Harvard, and later made a tidy sum working at a hedge fund. But he gave up all that when he discovered his true calling as an online teacher. (His first big contributor, the wife of powerful venture capitalist John Doerr, was moved to write him a $100,000 check when she discovered he was living “off of savings.”)
The term documentary has become a catchall rubric, a label that can be affixed to heterogeneous, even contradictory products.
