Hopscotch - pg. 479

A penciled note, almost illegible: "Yes, he suffers once in a while, but it is the only decent way out. Enough of hedonistic and prechewed novels, with psychologies. One must aim at the maximum, be a voyant as Rimbaud wanted to be. The hedonistic novelist is nothing but a voyeur. On the other hand, enough of purely descriptive techniques, of 'behaviorist' novels, mere movie scripts with the saving grace of images."
