The great Milan Kundera remembering a smart young man denouncing the latest Fellini film some 20 years ago:
"At that moment, 'I experienced for the first time a sensation I never felt in Czechoslovakia, even in the worst Stalinist years: the sense that we have come to the era of post-art, in a world where art is dying because the need for art, the sensitivity and the love for it, is dying'."
From review of Encounter: Essays by Milan Kundera by the one of my favourite UK writers, Geoff Dyer, in The Observer.
On bad days I feel like this. On good days , the opposite.
