“I will talk baby talk to babies and dog talk to dogs, but I cannot tell you in baby talk or dog talk of the excitement of being an adult human being in a world so wonderous with hope and sorrow and loyalty and defeat and anguish and delight.”
- Mark Harris “Easy Does It Not” from The Living Novel
This was written in relation to the question on whether or not an author should be so responsible to explain everything to the reader or not. I am blown away by the idea. In a world so overly bloated with the idea of dumbing it down for the lowest common denominator shouldn’t we instead choose to write in order to help elevate mankind?
