I don't get this. I don't get this weird pathetic crap about writers standing before some crowd of 2 or two million, reading their own prose aloud for the supposed entertainment of the audience. No audience could properly endure this. The audience can read the writer's crap themselves and probably with a lot more enjoyment. I have yet to hear one of these orators yet who could intone a sentence with any listenability. And whose prose is that spectacular that it becomes a wonderful listening experience to hear it clanged by a deluded oratic horror who in his own ears hears symphonic greatness, while the stunned and writhing audience is hearing a monotoned, listlessly performed isolated-prose segment stripped of all the singular qualities that only silent reading by the intended READER can provide? Who started this bizarre, pompous-beyond-all-compass self-serving pathetic torture?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-43878728732970404312007-10-21T00:45:00.000-05:002007-10-21T00:45:00.000-05:00Come on!
