The Birds Of Prey And Batjay
Dogberry told me about an article written by The Sassy Lawyer (who is also the same person behind the blog, House On A Hill): The Birds Of Prey And Batjay. I quote:
What is so objectionable about the use of simple language in literature? Is literature naturally elitist and meant to be appreciated only by a few? Is it what makes it special? Is that what makes it good?
Is literature a form of snobbery or a concept invented to make a few chosen men sound important?
I believe PGS blog readers will want to read this blogpost. There are many strong points raised there that can give all of us something to think about. Take the time to also read the comments section; the discussion is interesting.
