"A strong-willed creator lends himself far less to collective influence than a merely talented artist, whose work may easily be made the material for a mass creation that genius opposes."___ [a:Otto Rank|228940|Otto Rank|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1355099399p2/228940.jpg] from [b:Art and Artist: Creative Urge and Personality Development|704004|Art and Artist Creative Urge and Personality Development|Otto Rank|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348394457s/704004.jpg|690293]

This book basically snuck up on me. I merely went along reading the text what was perhaps too easily discounted by me as old woman's gossip and innuendo but became instead a serious treatise on dementia and truth, and if they ever can be satisfied. A thread of hope remained at the two-thirds mark for a resolution of this story, but madness prevailed, as did the dark. And the curtain remained between the closed window and reader as veil and welcome respite from the incessant noise we sometimes confuse as chatter.

Say what you will about Josipovici and you probably will be wrong. For Gabriel is foremost a writer who speaks with many voices though none of them prevail. His is a talent heretofore unseen and one that can never be reconciled to the person we have seen thinking, and even speaking, in our midst. Better to let him go on writing and just leave the man he is alone. ( )
