It seems to go in cycles...<br />And furthemore to the Steve Aylett contention (that satire doesn't change anything) I'd argue that serious fiction doesn't change anything either, at least to no greater extent than satire.<br />In fact I'd go further and say that I have serious doubts about whether even <i>change</i> itself ever really changes anything...Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804628726352473933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9444659.post-56775607979561277382012-02-24T12:44:06.172+00:002012-02-24T12:44:06.172+00:00An excellent post, Rhys.

It's easy to look upon a serious matter with the appropriate amount of frowning and head-shaking (because that's the thing to do) - but it is far more difficult (not to mention misunderstood) to look upon a serious matter with an absurdist's eye. The first method reflects the truth, the second (flippant) method exposes it.Jason E.
