What should literature be saying at a time like this? What is

>>9147765
I'm not so sure it can be said that once there was a point to fiction but not anymore. Either there was always a point or there was never a point.

Two things

>Individuality was a mistake
>Get away from that internet, I'm cuttin' it down

>>9147951
>what can a writer say of these times?
>FUCK THESE TIMES I WANNA GO BACK!

Pathetic.

>aspiring writer's responsibility toward the current political, sociological and economical climate
you don't deserve fiction

They should say things that make my peepee hard and make hot cummins go through it fast.

The best literature of today will do what the greatest literature of the past has always done and will continue to do, that is, bestow truth, beauty, and wisdom to attentive readers. It will make us more aware of where we are and who we're with, and maybe it will make us less willing to hurt each other. I don't accept the premise that literature 'should' say anything, or that a writer has political responsibilities, if anything the presence of ideological bias spoils a work of art and turns it into a piece of propaganda. I agree with what Hamlet says, which is that the purpose of art is to hold the mirror up to nature, show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.
