Obviously I think it\u2019s better to be consciously aware of the political origin of your ingrained attitudes; but I also think this core material should be handled with some restraint by the text. Your arguments shouldn\u2019t appear on the surface but infect the whole, from setting to characterisation to imagery and on. Your logic should be poetic, ironic, quietly self-aware. Your metaphors should underlie, they should be the geomorphology that constructs every textual landform. They should emerge organically from the events you describe, like the product of relations at an earlier level. Above all, your politics must intricate themselves with the product of your deep imagination\u2013your own deepest strata\u2013because unless fantasy and science fiction originate down there, they are worthless as social, imaginative or even entertainment product. That\u2019s my feeling. The best work neither shows nor tells: it says by being, not by saying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>M.
