They all want to be victims . It pays to be a victim in this country. We still haven't recovered. The individual doesn't seem to matter anymore. But life is not schematic.
Life is fluid and ambiguous.
I don't believe that's right. I don't believe that prose should be translucent. I don't believe that plot is all that matters. I believe that language matters greatly. What I despise about contemporary literature is that the prose has no character.
