Her take on Literature and Television:
Literature tells stories. Television gives information.
Literature involves. Television (with its illusion of immediacy) distances – immures us in our own indifference.
In Literature - stories.....there is always an ethical component. It is the model of completeness, of felt intensity, of enlightenment supplied by the story, and its resolution. Television offers obtuseness, non-understanding, passive dismay, and the consequent numbing of feeling through its glut of unending stories.
