prosa, poesia e política

Simon Lesser (20th century writer)
'We read because we are beset by anxieties, guilt feeling and ungratified needs. The reading of fiction permits us in an indirect fashion to satisfy those needs, relieve our anxieties, and assuage our guilt.
(....)
It transports us to a realm of more comprehensible and coherent, more passionate and more plastic, and at the same time more compatible with our ideals that the world of our daily routine, thus providing a kind of experience which is qualitatively superior to that which we ordinarily obtain from life.'
Fiction and Unconscious (1960)

Eis a razão da leitura. Alívio, compensaçao, 'desestress'. Triste de quem vive neste mundo, cheio de caminhos tortos e turbulentos e ainda não descobriu esse remédio.
Viva a leitura!
