What is literature, and why do I try to write about it? I don__ know. Likewise, I don__ know why I go on living, most of the time. But this not knowing is precisely what I want to preserve. As readers, the closest way we can engage with a literary work is to protect its indeterminacy; to return ourselves and it to a place that precludes complete recognition. Really, when I__ reading, all I want is to stand amazed in front of an unknown object at odds with the world.
