To me, the language…[used by literary theorists] shows a certain hostility for writing and literature, as theorists talk about traditional and experimental writing and urge students to analyse their own work in the language of the critic…The word experimental has been around for so long it evokes a bit of a yawn, and it is meaningless, since all writing is experimental, as the writer tries to work out how to convey his meaning, and in fact what to convey. There is a ‘not knowing’ that is paramount whenever a writer embarks on a new work and lasts right until the last draft, when the writer has to say this is as good as I can make it right now.
