    The subject of the novel is reality liberated from soul. The reader in complete independence presented with a structured process: let him evaluate it, not the author. The façade of the novel cannot be other than stone or steel, flashing electrically or dark, but silent.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    No republic is more real than that of letters, and I am the last in principles, as I am the least in pretensions to any dictatorship in it.
