To leave behind the dusty traditions of conventional literary fiction & poetry. To create literature that normal people can read, understand, and enjoy. To do this without sacrificing any higher artistic pursuit. & to do this without admitting belief in any sort of higher artistic pursuit. To be funny. To be sad. To be unpoetic & boring & silent & loud at the same time. To convince J.D. Salinger to go on a cross country road trip. (Update: RIP J.D. Salinger) To convince Belle & Sebastian to collaborate on a musical. To be a dick without being a dick. To be a nice guy without being a nice guy. To keep it real.
