"Anything that comes out of a writer is fiction." *Watch our other video interview with Benjamín Labatut right here:* ua-cam.com/video/E-OFnHwuTBg/v-deo.html
I love how this interview opens up the cracks a bit and lets you slip through. Whoever was the interviewer for this worked some incredible magic too, to hold such spaciousness for this kind of expression to come through.
I'm so in love with this angle of view. of being in this position... I want to hold it, save in mine, feel every day, like a hard medallion, and always remember about weight of this tone every time when I thought that tearing it's not beautiful and natural profound. thinking like this, about dark side of rationality - it's so beautiful. I want to... don't forget that I'm pretty normal in feeling of unknowing, disintegrating, searching, just searching... why we can't write - yes. because it's just natural rhythm of disorganization and craziness of literature just embodied through these moments. it's more native thing for art. in almost every interview or lectures people talks about plot, storytelling, stories it's who we are, blabla, write in the morning, power...literature helps finds the truth...write the truth...POWER. but what truth. truth it's, deep in my he-art, I always feel too - no power. no realism. yes. it's soooo beautiful vital like I don't know what else. Clarice Lispector write from this corner... not many authors... thanks for reminding. we can't write often because literature itself is so disorganised thing, and it's beautiful. it's one of best interview I've ever seen, these words just...so much rare pearl beauty. kiss kiss kiss
Science informs good fiction. The Truths of this world are sufficiently ‘strange’ to encourage an author to understand them and then use his writing ability to convey realities.
Literature can be tied down to reality and often times literature needs to tie down reality. Not only can literature be tied down to reality but often it is this lie of reality that literature gives substance and meaning to while evoking truths; defining and redefining until something intangible is made tangible - given meaning/merit, allowing fabrication to gain serious context/knowledge/understanding and then be used to prosper humanity without having to endure threw the lies of reality. Literature in some ways can be described as a simulator - saving lives - allowing humans to see the consequences of an action within these tests runs that happen in simulation/literature then don't have to be played out in real life. Literature can be described as magic and magic is science that is yet to be discovered/defined!
I feel we need to translate this into Spanish. I want to share it with my painting students here in Oaxaca. A singular place, no doubt. We were just talking about realism and i realized they had no way to talk about it.
Literature is concerned with the reality of consciousness. Science has nothing to say about consciousness, except that it cannot prove that it exists-and because of this, that its operations are not part what it defines as reality.

Why does literature need to oftentimes be tied down to reality? What does reality offer literature?

Yes, I like this

“literature is one of the dark arts”
writing and reading are mysterious ways of living.
ugh yess
lets hope he finds out about a guy called Wittgenstein

Said no serious academic of literature ever.
I think this lacks a real understanding about what science is
