What does a paper about writer’s block look like?
The unsuccessful self-treatment of a case of “writer’s block”
A paper about writer’s block. The paper is blank. That’s the whole joke, and it’s perfect.
This is the whole joke, and it is perfect: below the title, there is no text. The reviewer comments printed with it note that it is the most concise manuscript they have ever seen.
It inspired several follow-up papers over the decades, including attempted replications, which were also blank.
Relatable.
