Hi Roger, I agree about expectations of 'emotional tuning' in a reader
being a 'giant cop-out'.
I'm not advocating reading Prynne btw, although it's a fun ride if you do.
Readers will get by and large what they are prepared or desire to get. But
what is a 'culturally neutral arena'? Is such a thing even possible? I
doubt it, but would be keen to read an advocacy for it.
didn't mean to hurt your feeling btw. Just wanting to understand more what
yourself and others hereabout might mean by the word. It seems debased to
me. Until, that is you indicated that ironising your own physicality might
be one way of getting in touch with feelings. That really struck a chora
with me.
love and love
cris
