William T. Vollmann Quotes

I Studied Comparative Literature At Cornell. Structuralism Was Real Big Then. The Idea Of Reading And Writing As Being This Language Game. There's A Lot Of Appeal To That. It's Nice To Think Of It As This Playful Kind Of Thing. But I Think That Another Way To Look At It Is "Look, I Just Want To Be Sincere. I Want To Write Something And Make You Feel Something And Maybe You Will Go Out And Do Something." And It Seems That The World Is In Such Bad Shape Now That We Don't Have Time To Do Nothing But Language Games. That's How It Seems To Me.
