"To place second in the competition is not the worst outcome for a writer, who sometimes does better by standing aside and watching the operations of power, appropriating its language, recycling its massive waste products, and reading significance in what has been left behind by the rush of progress. This is how the writer creates a critical space for him - or herself, for the "responsible inteligence" needed to conduct an individual life under regimes of information, unreality, and bureaucratic domination."
da introdução ao livro "The Rush for Second Place and other writings" de William Gaddis
