Updike once said that literature needs a great forgetting, that centuries of refinement have made it stale and insular. He didn't advocate for the burning of books or anything like that. He was just pointing out the reality of literary Malthusianism. Our literary culture is like an old man who's done the same routine so many times he's no longer capable of imagining the possibilities that might occur to a younger person. Do you agree with Updike's core view?
Yeah sure but how do you solve that?
