Now, this is a sad truth. Most people are artistically illiterate and

need such people telling you what they think; their advice is bad.
Apart from all the talk, this passage caught my attention. It comes on a
bit like Papa Hem, though the syntactic ambiguity (don't care to be
what?) suggests he's had far too many, then flashes briefly into
quasi-Joycean wordplay (probably a typo), with "illitearte". I like
that: ill-lit-lite-(t)ear-t(e)art-art-arte (=arty). Says it all. The
saddest story.
