>And to the moron saying "Novels should stand on their own," You are completely missing the point I'm making. That people offer their own interpretations to novels, and do so in a setting that is both coherent, arguable, and compelling, is why literary essays exist.

What the fuck? I think you missed my point. We AREN'T talking about literary essays. We're talking about an example that you yourself gave me: James Joyce collaborated on essays to EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF HIS NOVELS.

This is not other people offering their own interpretations of JJ's novel. This is about JJ offering us his own interpretation of his novel so that people can even understand what the fuck his intention was.

His novels do not stand alone when he has to explain them after the fact.

Do you understand what I'm getting at now?
