Intellect vs Emotion

[Henry Musikar]

Is it just me, or does the intellectual content of a great work 
diminish its emotional impact for you? Sure there's a tug here and 
there, and a cumulative emotional effect in, for example, Pynchon's 
work, but never nearly as much (for me) as even a bad movie or song 
with simple loss (and perhaps resolution), what my ancestors would 
(sometimes sarcastically) call "a schtick leiben" or something like 
that, meaning "a slice of life."
