hi :)

not enough is being done about the threat of cultural mormonism

Thinking about good books and getting pissed off

You see I cannot write because I am too committed to the desire for writing. literature is just not the right rhetorical form for the desire to write itself. Literature cannot follow from the desire to write, it must come from another desire that grips me not often enough. When you have the desire to argue, you write an essay. When you have the desire to depict a scene, you write a poem. When you have the desire to explain, you write a recipe or a manual. You don’t write poetry to be understood, nor a manual for beauty. What then is the desire that suits literature? It cannot be the simple desire to write literature. The worst of poetry is written by those with the desire to be poets and the worst essays come from those with nothing to argue. The chosen form is necessitated by the corresponding desire. What then necessitates literature?
