The path of art for fame’s sake
Chapter 23
For example, the path of art for fame’s sake becomes a broad and well-lighted ehighway if you can find things to be against that no one is for.
2If you wish to be praised for your passion and moral sensitivity,
3Write about how fterrible war is,
4gAnd how irrational,
5hAnd how wasteful,
6iAnd how destructive.
7jBe indignant about it,
8kBe ironic,
9And be ruthless in your lcontempt for all those people out there who think that war is wonderful and fun and sensible and the way to go,
10Because these are people that everyone likes to see exposed and criticized,
11mEven if they’ve never seen them anywhere but on the silver screen.
