Some texts protect neither their subject nor their reader behind a beautiful distance.
They do not need to be cruel. They need to be precise. A sentence can cross violence without turning it into spectacle; it can reveal the fault line while refusing to exploit it.
That kind of literature interests me because it does not confuse darkness with depth. It accepts silence, ellipsis and discomfort as tools of knowledge.
NOTE
← INCURSIONSThe sentence should not add darkness. It should make visible what darkness already contained.
