L'art de ne rien dire, c'est vous les journalistes critiques au Devoir... et au New York Times! Bravo a vous tous ! Au lieu de nous donner des descriptions pleines de fioritures a la con, dites nous si M. Tel ou Tel possede des idees, meme des idees de niaiseux ! Ce sont les idees et non pas le look qui compte... du moins pour le citoyen intelligent ! Il n'est pas surprenant que Victor Velsky a dit que le journalisme c'est le metier le plus vieux apres la guidounerie. Enfin, il vous faut poser la question et y reflechir honnetement: Pourquoi on t'a choisit pour etre journaliste au Devoir ? En toute evidence, c'est parce que toi, tu as maitrise l'art de ne rien dire dans ta prose !
Je vous laisse reflechir sur les mots du poete Osip Mandelstam qui a dit dans "Fourth Prose" que "Writerdom is a race with a revolting smell to its hide and the filthiest known means of preparing its food. It is a race that wanders and sleeps in its own vomit, one that is expelled from cities and hounded in villages, but it is always and everywhere close to the authorities, who grant its members a place in red-light districts, as prostitutes. For literature always and everywhere carries out one assignment: it helps superiors keep their soldiers obedient and it helps judges execute reprisals against doomed men.
A writer is a mixture of parrot and pope. He's a polly in the very loftiest meaning of that word. He speaks French if his master is French, but, sold into Persia, he will say 'Pol's a fool', or 'Polly wants a cracker' in Persian. A parrot has no age and doesn't know day from night. If he starts to bore his master he's covered with a black cloth and that, for literature, is the surrogate of night."
