M. John Harrison Quotes

What Is Literature, And Why Do I Try To Write About It? I Don't Know. Likewise, I Don't 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'm Reading, All I Want Is To Stand Amazed In Front Of An Unknown Object At Odds With The World.
