Our vessels may vary, a creaky rowboat in Full o’ Bull’s case, a great big ocean liner in mine, but the goal is always the same: to transport our readers from point in time A to point in time B. The existential void looms large as ever, and people still rely on us writers and other entertainers to help them across. Times may have changed, but Time has not. That’s essentially what these first story-tellers did: they held their fellow tribe members’ attention between the moments that they had something better to do. The word “entertain” comes from the French “entretenir”, tenir meaning “to hold”, and entre meaning “between”. To help their tribe across the existential void, here’s where the first story-tellers stepped in, the first entertainers. “Umpf!” one of them grunts, which roughly translates to: so what do we do now? Until an awkward new feeling creeps up on them and they all stare at each other. They’ve just gorged themselves on the bison that the boys brought back from the hunt the other day.
Imagine them sitting around a fire after having chased a rival tribe out of their neck of the woods. Maybe we should go back even further, to our prehistoric ancestors. C’mon Toby, you can do better than that!īut can I? Must I? What if my answer is not as trivial as it sounds? It keeps me busy.Īt which point many an interviewer will become cross with me. Heck, I don’t know, I might say with a coquettish shrug of the shoulders. Maybe we should go back to why I became a writer in the first place, a question I’ve been asked dozens of times in interviews. Why should my novels even show my readers who and what they are? What if they don’t? It’s the presumption hidden in the bit before the comma. It’s not the preposterous idea that I should make my readers better people. Something about the question has been bugging me all along. Is it enough for literature to show us who and what we are, or should literature make us better people, too? Here it is, on the official invitation that I received the other day: Have I been working on my acceptance speech? Uhm…Īnd have I determined the position I will be taking in the subsequent mini-colloquium on Literature and Morality? Uhm… what was the theme again?
