But Mark was talking, if I remember rightly, about whether or not a
writer seeks to manipulate a desired audience. I guess that's a kind of
intention, whether or not it actually works?
I would tend to agree that we're always readers, but then I immediately
begin to wonder if that's right, too....
My more serious point in that post had to do with that question of
craft, which as readers we can, I guess, only intuit, out of a
sensibility constructed by all our (other) reading....
