More From Robert Lowell

Any plot you impose on your characters will be onomatopoetic: plot. i say don't worry about plot. worry about the characters. let what they say or do reveal who they are, and be involved in their lives, and keep asking yourself, now what happens? the development of relationship creates plot.
Character Worry Plot
Plot comes first. the plot is the archictecture of your novel. you wouldn't build a house without a plan. if i wrote without a plot, it would just be a pile of bricks. characters are your servants. they must serve your plot.
Character House Firsts
The most important thing is that man should be the measure of all structures, including economic structures, and not that man be made to measure for those structures. the most important thing is not to lose sight of personal relationships - i.e., the relationships between man and his co-workers, between subordinates and their superiors, between man and his work, between this work and its consequences.
Men Sight Important
I'm of the opinion that the real is imagined and the imagined is quite real. the real is imagined, in the sense that we shape our stories, so anything that even happens on the news gets shaped in a certain way and gets a texture, and that the imagined can be real.
Real News Stories
As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. if we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.
Faith Believe Gambling
And if i'm guilty of having gratuitous sex, then i'm also guilty of having gratuitous violence, and gratuitous feasting, and gratuitous description of clothes, and gratuitous heraldry, because very little of this is necessary to advance the plot. but my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. if all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? we can just read cliffs notes.

I worked as a prosecutor watching catholic priests charged with sex abuse and saw firsthand how the 'circle the wagons' mentality revictimized the innocent, coddled the guilty, and made matters worse for everyone.

The point of the first one was that it was about guys being lured by sex and the stereotypes... i always say it's like a horror version of borat. borat's not an accurate depiction of khazakstan, it's an accurate depiction of america. that's what hostel is.
