Ah, Erlik, you've touched my heart by mentioning one of Canada's literary giants. I read "A voice from the Attic" years ago for a class, and now wish I had paid attention. But you do realize that Davies is, much like Stephen Leacock before him, a social satirist. But you've definitely sparked my interest in the Depthford trilogy. As for Malevich yeah, its art. Bad art, but art nonetheless. I wouldn't consider it art just because its revolutionary, though. Pollock, like Warhol were lucky, and spawned a generation of imitators. No wonder, it was so easy to imitate. I do not agree with Damon Knight. But you Erlik are a learned one. I would be honoured to raise a pint to you in your presence. @PJF If an individual considers an item to have artistic merit, it does - to her or him. I disagree with that statement completely. I'm not one for censorship, but there are limits to what art is, and it doesn't include EVERYTHING. I do however, agree with your first and last statement.
