response to Noah Cicero's "WRITING AND A PERSONALITY" blog post
yeah you need at least one personality, sure
but don't kid yourself
you don't need your own
or anyone else's for that matter
comparing a senseless working stiff to a personality-filled writer
like comparing a corpse to a clown
i mean the corpse is boring and smells quite a bit
but you'll treat it respect for eternity
you'll just leave the clown at the circus
the original crack smoker in delphi she coulda told you that when she was hunkered down in her cave
but she was busy speaking on behalf of apollo
the cult of the author in the modern era is nothing but a crass byproduct of the need for intellectual property
so that printers could borrow money from banks to buy presses
something had to be collateral
why not the writing?
no one knows who homer was (or who homer were, really) and it's completely irrelevant to anyone except in the people magazine set
the idolators
the idols came after people forgot to speak
