Re: (Why) Have we stopped reading fiction ?
@Robert Adam Gilmour: I understand your point, but I'm not sure anyone would call the Marx Brothers clowns. Absurdist and surrealist act silly in order to question reality. A clown acts silly for the sake of being funny.

"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms." ---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran
