5.0 out of 5 stars literature is one perpetual orgy, August 2, 2008
By 
Ethem Alpaydin (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perpetual Orgy (Paperback)
This book is about Mme Bovary, Flaubert and writing fiction. What is fiction, who is an author and why does he write?

" 'The race of gladiators is not dead; every artist is one. He amuses the public with his agonies'. The truth is that, by writing about them, 'agonies' are mitigated; literature exorcises them or makes them endurable." (p. 89)
