Down with the creative

Give me a mass culture and do not meddle in my territory, requires CATHERINE tar

 Summer, relaxation, and many allow themselves too much. I've allowed myself to read the foreign detective novel. The plot was promising: found the body of the child, exactly the same place twenty years ago, missing children under mysterious circumstances, a police inspector when he lost his memory. Read!

Written all very beautiful, arty. At the end of me, however, were disappointed: the killer found, but that story is everything, it turns out, was not relevant, the inspector memory and not recovered, the old mystery remained unsolved. Phew.

The author, apparently, had the audacity to imagine that his book will be read not for the finals, but for the beauty of the style and subtlety of observation of human psychology. This, I must say, is a common misconception. More precisely, really: this has increased the audience, which considers the book by Dostoyevsky, though light, and in the same curly style would write her a review in LJ, then would feel too creative author.

Creativity - is, of course, the main evil of our time. A bad mass culture with a claim for alleged intellectual, which replaces the one and the other: an uncomfortable bed dizaynirovannaya classifies the owner of the clan of avant-garde artists - but it is convenient, and you can not buy. And what avant-garde art does not have a bed, even if design does not prove.

Osip Brik once rightly wrote that the people of mental work will not be after a hard day at work to read fiction with the subtle psychological moves they need in a good detective novel function for the diversion drain.

Give me a mass culture, dammit! Spare me from the one that mimics a supposedly high. Do not meddle in my territory.

I still occasionally read the magazine on cooking, published an incredibly creative publishing house. I must say, their creativity, I get sick so much that I even armed with white stucco and some phrases, do not be surprised that covers. The fact that this magazine because it's still concrete recipes, sometimes re-read several times, but this is unbearable, you could die of shame, not having started yet either shred or smothering. For example, instead write "Put lettuce in a bowl," the author wrote something like "arrange salad leaves such a nest, where I would like to live forever, but can not, but very much want.

Generally, such nervousness, when the hand reaches for the putty, lately - I am not the one. Familiar book designer, the talented quiet man, violently detaching the cover of the books given him. Musician imposes irritated veto "melodic" phone calls at all familiar. Architect specially made hook, just would not go past a particular creative shopping center in the modernist style. Meanwhile, some samopostroennye dachas, frank musical or pop cover of the magazine "Liza" not only does not cause us all asthmatic shock, but even like. Refreshes, you know, against the background of general refinement and total design.

I meanwhile, all the time thinking about this author, who wanted to remain in a heap of salad and who still, reveling in your own research, calls the onion and ginger "grasses". What kind of person who writes like that? With his head?

He wants to sit on two chairs. He imagines himself the creator and writer, while continuing to remain banal consumer, and with his last strength poeticises and valoriziruet is consumption, whether it be food, travel or going to the movies. In Russia all this is compounded by the protracted neofitstvom: all of our so-called culture in recent years, including a publicized of writers and certainly most shows (especially arranged spin-doctors by profession and vocation) - this is ecstasy "great grub," which calls itself an aggressive high honors culture.

You know what? Detective novels, first learn to write.
