RANT! A RANT! A 25 MINUTE RANT! Friday Reads and a Defense of LITERARY FICTION

These people get to live their lives on the page and we the readers have to assess how we feel about them. We are not given how to feel about them.

It's true. And then it takes the inevitable plotless turn. Very true.

We just have to understand something is being said. It's not a judgment. It's a statement.

That novel from a words on the page perspective is absolute tripe. I promise you it is.
