Something about nihilism within literature
[00:16 – 01:11]
Writer and political activist Tariq Ali has realized, writers can’t change something remarkable in a western society… and I think he’s right. His examples with Huxley and Orwell are both simple and very precise.
I still think words can be powerful though, but the powerful words of our time are not written by writers of fiction, but by spin doctors.
Is that a good or bad? I think it’s fantastic, as it isolates a lot of literature from political morale, from fringe idealism, and parts of society who aren’t interested in literature.
Sure there are still, and I guess there will always be, a lot of writers who are political, but it’s like their fight for changing the world is so impossible that their political aspect of their works fades out in (beautiful) meaningless and controversial aesthetics.
