    Today I got to inform my students that nonsense writing dictates like "Show, Don't Tell" are actually a CIA plot to control literature and combat communism. It's my favorite day :)

        Berthold Brecht was the one who went on a tear about how most of the things people think make theatre "good" also made it toothless and helpless at pushing for political change (suspension of disbelief, a satisfying emotional "catharsis", etc)

        The fact that the advice they give you on how to make a work of fiction "good" will turn it into something where people can say "Ignore the message if you like and just enjoy the story" is infuriating if you wrote it because the message is a life-or-death issue

        Like there's a fuckton of "message fiction" that's regarded as classic arguably BECAUSE it failed, and the writing teachers of the world generally want you to succeed at making money and entertaining people and fail at actually pissing them off/moving them to action

        The musical of Les Mis is a tremendously, overwhelmingly popular portrayal of revolutionary politics that has done fuck-all to actually promote revolutionary politics and probably leaves people less inclined to revolution than before they saw it, etc

        Wait, really? (You're somebody from whom we're prepared to believe a thing like that, though it's a strong claim.)

        There's an argument that while anticommunist forces like the CIA obviously didn't create the movement of immersive modernist realism that characterizes 20th century literary fiction, they helped fund it because they saw it as culturally positivehttps://www.chronicle.com/article/How-Iowa-Flattened-Literature/144531/ …
