`... And are you certain that writers themselves know,
even in general, what it is they want to express or communicate?...'
There's something delicious about that `... even in general...'
There's the rather clear indication where they should apply for
further enlightenment. I expect the same authority can also tell
us what Dejeuner sur l'herbe or what Beethoven's final quartet
are ACTUALLY about.
All those hard-won lines of Salinger. A modest start. Now the real
work can begin.
