Only the more rugged mortals should attempt to keep up with current literature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Literature is always trying to show other parts of this immense universe in which we live. It's endless. I'm sure there will be other writers who will discover new worlds.
Whenever I read a contemporary literary novel that describes the world we're living in, I wait for the science fiction tools to come out. Because they have to - the material demands it.
My stories are full of facts; they have a beginning and an end. For that reason, they will never... occupy a place in contemporary literature.
Literature throws us many great heroes. Real life invariably outdoes them.
Anyone who undertakes the literary grind had better like playing around with words.
Mythologies become exhausting burdens, from a writer's perspective.
Literature has become too psychological.
Literature helps us transcend ourselves.
There should be a democracy of voices in literature. There are people who live with a kind of striving and with a certain kind of tenderness - it's not an unusual thing - and maybe that's not written about enough.
Our literature is in great shape.
