Literature Is Entertainment, Quote by T.C. Boyle

“Literature…is just entertainment like rock’n’roll or a film. It is entertainment. If it doesn’t capture you on that level, as entertainment, movement of plot, then it doesn’t work. Nothing else will come out of it. The beauty of the language, the characterization, the structure, all that’s irrelevant if you’re not getting the reader on that level — moving a story.” T.C. BOYLE, novelist and short story writer
