When you see or hear that kind of hierarchy being proposed, it's not a literary-critical operation. It's a class operation. In that system of allusions, of unspoken castes and quarantines, we take ourselves seriously. we do. lookin' at mediatic ideas of politics mimetic fiction is associated we take ourselves seriously. we do. lookin' at mediatic ideas of politics with propriety, with the status quo defending itself, anxiously, against incursions from the great and wooly Beyond. When 'realism' is esteemed over other kinds of literary methods, you're no longer in a literary-critical conversation; you've entered a displaced conversation about class. We we take ourselves seriously. we do. lookin' at mediatic ideas of politics will say two things: 1) If you're interested at all in the state of literature and the debates going on amongst its practitioners and participants, you need to read this interview, and 2) If this is simply a verbatim transcription of the conversation (and we're guessing it is, because otherwise they'd have cut out all the extraneous barking from the fucking dog*) then Joanthan Lethem is scary articulate.
