On literary aesthetics

If you are a literary person of any good you cannot absolve yourself from the responsibility of dealing with the people or events you come across in real life by somehow bringing them alive in your work.

For nothing is unimportant for a scrupulous writer. He may see the world through a haze which tries to distort his vision. And his intense effort to see things far away clearly might often make him so distressed that he has to not see many things to see the thing he is trying to see. But they are never ignored fully, for it will cause a great incompleteness in a work created hence. This conflict makes things complicated. It could be a reason that good writers are often recluses. They are so because almost everything around them demands their attention and they feel the urgency to include every stimulus around in their project, for everything has to be accomplished in one lifetime only. Also, the work has been presented economically both in the sense of time and space. A reader might not have the patience to read an inordinately long piece of work where there is a palpable sense of leisurely indulgence on the part of the writer exists and a trig-comic feeling pervades as if the story is just beginning while the reader is about to reach the final chapter of a book.

Therefore, finding literature where a reader does not feel defrauded is an arduous task and might consume a lifetime without meeting any success. A good writer can produce one with ease, and also fineness, at times—to represent a whole world in the short length of his work. It could be his world only, but authentic and various enough to inspire a reader to adopt it as his own.

Sometimes the multitude of notions or emotions caused in a creative soul by various stimuli may be in the work as an inspiration or the lack of it that is represented latently in the wider things which actually manifest in it-- for everyone to see.

In other words the fewer interactions you have the better it is-- to see clearly the ones you have. Because dealing with them honestly will take a long while to present them in literature. Else any work of true merit will fail to emerge. It may be a reason that good writers behave as if they are aliens and have just landed here.

Hence the world of a writer might be very disorderly and chaotic for him inwardly, though from the outside it might look otherwise to other persons. When a reader takes all his inputs in a work he reads to actually see or read things which a writer has not obviously presented in it but remain as hidden energy which radiates glowingly in a body of a remarkable piece of work, it becomes a fulfilling prospect for both -- a reader and a writer. But it may happen at times that this interaction fails and a reader starts reading things which a writer has not written even in what is unwritten in his work.

It often results in great acrimony for a reader. That he got the things which he never wanted to be served in a piece of literature. At times it results in a very unpleasant outcome where work is dropped or the writer itself.

It should happen less often for a writer though, for here he loses everything, unlike a reader.

So it may be a reason that people look for literature produced centuries ago to find what they are looking for, for the recent one simply does not have it.

The ever-modern work is rare and a modern one might prove not so modern.
