On my way to pick up my son at middle school having forgotten 'First
Meditations' by Coltrane I tuned into NPR and was nudged out of a most
ecstatic reverie when I heard a panelist on a program discussing works
that meld fiction and non-fiction say:
"Whenever you mix non-fiction with anything else, you dilute the
non-fiction."
He continued, using terms like 'poison' and such, to berate the evil of
straying from the 'facts.'
I just hate it when people can't see the transforming necessity of
dilution and poison. Hell, if he wants to stick with the prima in the
materia let him do so at his peril. Can't he see that real danger is
lead-poisoning?
