Nowadays information is the most important productive force. Mental labor is completely within the production networks, indeed, it is their main driving force. To write is part of production, to narrate is politics. Now the distinction is between those who are aware and the legion of reactionaries, whether the latter are self-conscious or not. First of all, stories that have a beginning, an end and a plot in between.
Experimentation is acceptable only and exclusively if it improves narration.
Novels that process raw materials found in the gloomy zones of history, real stories told like fiction and vice versa. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight. At the centre the Pope, the Emperor, the cardinals and the princes of Europe stand out. At the margins, the discreet and invisible agents, who peep out from behind the tiaras and crowns but actually sustain the whole geometry of the picture, fill it and, keeping themselves undetected, let all those heads occupy the centre. We want to narrate the constitution, emergence and movement of multitudo.
