So far I was not able to stick on to any single medium in literature.My concept of literature and my ideas regarding it’s function also change quite often.On some occasions I took the stand that social and political content of a work of art is more important than anything else.This feeling or thought does not remain for long to grow into a conviction.I change.I will begin to think that form is far more important.Form itself is the meaning and message of work of art.The novelty of form and rhythm that one is able to realize in a work of art should be the criterion to judge it since it is the soul of the aesthetic experience that the work conveys to a reader.But I won’t stick to this stand for a considerably long time.Content,plot and the unpredictable possibilities that unfold in a story are the real thing,I will begin to think.And I may go a step further and declare:
What is there in a work of art if history does'nt make a reader feel it’s presence in it.
