>"I would be wonderful with a 100-year moratorium on literature talk, if you 
>shut down all literature departments, close the book reviews, ban the 
>critics. The readers should be alone with the books, and if anyone dared to 
>say anything about them, they would be shot or imprisoned right on the 
>spot. Yes, shot. A 100-year moratorium on insufferable literary talk. You 
>should let people fight with the books on their own and rediscover what 
>they are and what they are not. Anything other than this talk. Fairytale 
>talk. As soon as you generalise, you are in a completely different universe 
>than that of literature, and there's no bridge between the two."
