But I also see truly awful books being published and rise to the best seller list, and I wonder what that means to have wide public appreciation? Is the idea to get published at any cost, or is the point to create something that you feel is the best you can do, whether or not it is published? Do you write to the public taste to get recognition, or do you write to your own taste to have self-satisfaction that you have expressed what you needed to express? Do we have a greater moral obligation to please other people than to please ourselves? I'm just asking. I don't have any answers.
