. . . Does all this abstract huffing and puffing mean we should distrust anything "too easy"~smoothly written or enticing or riveting or just plain fun to read, tasting to the full of the "aesthetic"~and we should only trust the difficult or the complicated or obscure? Is only the ugly true? Or do we have to abandon truth if we want the paradise, or theme park, of the text? Some of these notes run in that direction. I'm sometimes caught in this dilemma, and can't make up my mind how to finish the simplest essay . . . . But maybe the point is just this: never to entirely trust anything we read. Including this! Or anything we write. Christopher Bernard is a founding editor of Caveat Lector.
