... no two people want exactly the same mix of strangeness and
familiarity. Some are content to read the same stories over and over
again, with only a few cosmetic details changed--or so it appears to those
of us who don't enjoy gothics or bodice-rippers or teen romances or
literary novels about writers who can't write or painters who can't paint.
Others are forever searching for something new or different, so they can no
longer recognize the verities contained in old familiar stories--or so it
seems to those of us who don't enjoy literary experiments like those of
Faulkner, Joyce, or Robbe-Grillet. -- Orson Scott Card
