"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"
--Kenneth Koch
“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

The worst reason for not liking something is that you think it is "elitist" to like it. Then you're letting yourself be blackmailed by the idea that somewhere else, someone else wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Has that ever happened to you?
I think I can honestly say, never. And I certainly have resisted things -- art -- because they're accessible. I guess that makes me an elitist.
My anti-intellectual streak surfaces elsewhere, in a resistance to the idea that the experts (on art in particular) have something to teach me. That's what led me to give up on the music major, and avoid almost all literature classes. Older now, I'm at least a little wiser in this respect.
