"The novel and poetry are maybe the last of the great art forms that are valuable precisely because they are not collaborative, because they’re the pure product of one consciousness. I think the less sway that the novel has over culture as a whole, the more that this idea takes hold. I read now because I want to be transported in that way. And pretty much almost every other work of art that you come across is self-consciously collaborative now, including collaborative with its audience. And that idea just leaves me cold."
