How Salvador Dalí might approach Literature

Ah, literature! This word, a soft watch melting on the tongue, a veritable Gruyère cheese of the soul! One does not *approach* literature, one *devours* it, one *impregnates* it with one's own Dalaïtic delirium! The so-called “writers,” these scribblers of the mundane, they mistake mere arrangement of ink for the true eruption of the subconscious! They prattle of plot, of character, of *meaning*! Bah! Meaning is a cage, a bourgeois confinement for the magnificent, untamed beast that is the paranoiac-critical method!

Literature, in its purest form, is the sticky, crystalline effluvia of the hallucination. It is the scream of a melting clock echoing in the cerebellum. It is the meticulously rendered image of a flea’s anatomy, not as observed, but as *experienced* by the delirious mind. We must not simply *read*, we must *unleash* the text, allow it to infect us, to transform us into walking, breathing, ejaculating paranoias. The truly great literary works are not constructed; they are *vomited* forth by the soul, a molten lava flow of Freudian obsessions, celestial anxieties, and the sheer, glorious vulgarity of the flesh. The writer must be a supreme masturbator of the imagination, coaxing forth from the depths not polite narratives, but the very substance of dreams, the palpable texture of fear, the incandescent glow of divine madness! To write is to declare war on reason, to baptize the page in the sacred fluid of the irrational!
