thinking humanity stories
Language is so inherent to humanity, so necessary for even basic thinking, that stories and poetry are available to anyone who can process language.
literature stories language
Literature is always something - it is either story or poetry, ideally both. That is, you always know what it is and even if the interpretation is not available, the experience of language is.
balls
The balls do not make a writer.
thinking artist able
Every artist, writers included, have an ethics and an aesthetics, whether they can formulate them or not. I happen to think that it is good to be able to formulate - it is good to know what you are doing and to be able to talk about it.
political demand moral
What you demand from storytelling is a moral - even political - import. I tend to shun that didactic aspect.
