Brief an einen jungen Dichter

Rate this book
"Scrivi dunque, ora che sei giovane, assurdità a ruota libera. Sii sciocco, sentimentale, imita Shelley, imita Sarnuel Smiles; dai corda a ogni impulso; fai ogni possibile errore di stile, grammatIca, gusto e sintassi; riversati; inciampa; libera la rabbia, l'amore, la satira con qualsiasi parola tu riesca ad afferrare, costringere o creare, in qualsiasi metro, prosa, poesia o borbottio che ti capiti sotto mano. Imparerai a scrivere. Ma se pubblichi, la tua libertà verrà incrinata; penserai a quello che dirà la gente; scriverai per gli altri mentre dovresti scrivere soltanto per te."

Una lettera ad un giovane poeta che l'ha pregata di aiutarlo ad affrontare la situazione in cui versa la sua vita diventa un divertente schizzo di alcuni scenari letterari dell'epoca.
