“Yanking his Manurhin MR-93 revolver from his shoulder holster, the captain dashed out of the office.”<\/em><\/div>\n

“He was sitting all alone in the enormous cabin of a Falcon 2000EX corporate jet as it bounced its way through turbulence. In the background, the dual Pratt & Whitney engines hummed evenly.”<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
“Pulling back the sleeve of his jacket, he checked his watch – a vintage, collector’s-edition Mickey Mouse wristwatch that had been a gift from his parents on his tenth birthday.”<\/em><\/div>\n

\u00c4lk\u00e4\u00e4 naurako. Tuollaisia lauseita<\/a> kirjoittamalla voi saada miljoonittain lukijoita ja tulla rikkaammaksi kuin Wall Streetin pankkiirit. T\u00e4n\u00e4kin kirjasyksyn\u00e4 kassakoneet laulavat t\u00e4lle kirjallisuusmaailman supert\u00e4hdelle.<\/a> Jos haluatte yritt\u00e4\u00e4 samaa, resepti\u00e4 voi etsi\u00e4 esimerkiksi t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4.<\/a><\/div>\n

Ei, en min\u00e4 ole kyseisen kirjailijan tuotoksiin paneutunut. Yht\u00e4 yritin lukea, mutta kesken j\u00e4i. En voi antaa kirjailijalle anteeksi sit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 h\u00e4n ei osaa kirjoittaa. Edes bestselleristille.<\/div>\n

“Mink\u00e4lainen kirjailija on nihilisti?” Olen sattuneista syist\u00e4 toisinaan miettinyt t\u00e4t\u00e4. Mielest\u00e4ni suurimpia nihilistej\u00e4 ovat ne, jotka eiv\u00e4t rakasta kirjallisuutta, mutta haluavat kirjoittaa kirjoja saadakseen mainetta, kunniaa, rikkautta. Ties mit\u00e4. Teksti kyll\u00e4 paljastaa t\u00e4llaiset kelmit, aina. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Nihilistien leve\u00e4n el\u00e4m\u00e4n mahdollistaa se, ett\u00e4 kovin moni ihminen ei loppujen lopuksi piittaa kirjoista. Ne, jotka lukevat vain muutaman romaanin vuodessa, tarttuvat sellaisiin kirjoihin, joista “kaikki puhuvat” ja joita myyd\u00e4\u00e4n supermarketeissa valtavissa paaleissa vihannestiskin vieress\u00e4. N\u00e4it\u00e4 ihmisi\u00e4, kulutuskykyisen keskiluokan edustajia, on maailmassa paljon. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Bestselleristi, joka mielt\u00e4\u00e4 romaaninsa kulutushy\u00f6dykkeeksi ja rakentaa sen niin kuin kulutushy\u00f6dyke rakennetaan, vertautuu perverssill\u00e4 tavalla t\u00e4rkeilij\u00e4-avantgardistiin, joka k\u00e4pertyy omaan kryptisyyteens\u00e4 ja halveksii kommunikaatiota. Kummatkin pit\u00e4v\u00e4t lukijoita p\u00f6lv\u00e4stein\u00e4. Olen ennenkin lainannut blogissani n\u00e4it\u00e4 David Foster Wallacen sanoja, mutta lainaan niit\u00e4 nyt uudestaan, koska ne tiivist\u00e4v\u00e4t olennaisimman:<\/div>\n

“If you, the writer, succumb to the idea that the audience is too stupid, then there are two pitfalls. Number one is the avant-garde pitfall, where you have the idea that you’re writing for other writers, so you don’t worry about making yourself accessible or relevant. You worry about making it structurally and technically cutting edge: involuted in the right ways, making the appropriate intertextual references, making it look smart. Not really caring about whether you’re communicating with a reader who cares something about that feeling in the stomach which is why we read. Then, the other end of it is very crass, cynical, commercial pieces of fiction that are done in a formulaic way — essentially television on the page — that manipulate the reader, that set out grotesquely simplified stuff in a childishly riveting way.”<\/em><\/div>\n
