reading older books is so crazy bc it shows how many things we consider almost unbreakable rules of writing have been invented like maybe 40 years ago at most. i feel like compared to other modern art forms writing comes with a lot more rules to adhere to if you want your story to be "good" and i guess this just really emphasises to me that this, too, is just a moment in art history

#im reading death in venice which is from 1912 so rather modern compared to most of my Old Books #and like first of all the sentences are Insane of course. one went on for literally 15 or so lines #but the 2nd chapter is literally just a psychoanalysis of the main character which in modern writing is unthinkable #show dont tell etc #and i guess it just struck me how crazy it is that in a little over a century so many rules were made up to the point #where if this was published today it would probably be dismissed bc of those qualities. crazy. everything is temporary! #personal
