Okay, the new issue is here, digest it at your own leisure. We wish you both hot and cool summer, since tastes do differ. Just so that you have a thing or two to consider we are leaving you with some choice words on a particular segment of literary collaboration that usually gets taken for granted. It is our belief that literature is the original web, the proto-Internet that used to and still does connect the world in the best possible way.
"Since the creation can find its fulfillment only in reading, since the artist must entrust to another the job of carrying out what he has begun, since it is only through consciousness of the reader that he can regard himself as essential to his work all literary work is an appeal. To write is to make an appeal to the reader that he lead into objective existence the revelation which I have undertaken by means of language.
… the writer appeals to the reader's freedom to collaborate in the production of his work.
You
are perfectly free to leave that book on the table. But if you open it,
you assume responsibility
for it. For freedom is not experienced by its enjoying its free
subjective functioning, but in a creative act required by an imperative. ... reading is a pact of generosity between author and reader. Each one trusts the other; each one counts on the other, demands of the other as much as he demands of himself. For this confidence is itself generosity. Nothing can force the author to believe that his reader will use his freedom; nothing can force the reader to believe that the author has used his. Both of them make a free decision."

Essay:
An Overview of Issues of Truth, Fiction and Reality
by Natalija Grgorinic & Ognjen Raden
"It is the writer who creates the world for the less fortunate ones, without the writer the world doesn’t exist, we believe in the existence of only that which is explained to us, even the inexplicable comes to us with the accompanying story, the nonexistent exists in the stories created about the nonexistent, and it is the story which exists."
