Seeing a writer's self absorbtion, which replaces any sense of writing for his characters and/or audience, is not difficult for me, because i do this kind of crap for a living.
I will, as "promised" expand on how it shows up in Morrison's work, when I have time (ie. gimme a few days, eh?)
But a lot of it should be obvious, if you look at his work from the point of view: "How did he arrive at the decision to have this happen to his characters, or to have his characters behave in this way?"
Don't misunderstand me, here: I like a lot of his work; but my enjoyment is spoiled somewhat when I see that he's squeezing "weirdness" in forcibly, rather than writing the story so that the weirdness is an integral part of it.
Seeing things like that bugs me as much as reading the phenomenally amateurish scrawlings of Thomas or Englehart; I want to take the comic back to the shop and demand my money back, the way I would if I'd bought any other defective product. |
