OK, good people. I'm giving a talk on political novels/art. So questions:
Do you think political novel in general are bad, and if so, why?
What makes a novel political and another not?
Can art and politics be separated, and if so, should they be?
Hit me!

the nobel prize people have, like, deep thoughts on those questions

It's hilarious to see the @NobelPrize hedge on what is & is not political or literary: 1] On Handke, it says: No politics! Sorry, literary merit only!
. 2] On Gurnah, it says: Politics matter! We care®
. (Just don't ask us about genocide denial—remember, literary merit only!)

I am shocked, shocked that there is hedging going on here.
