Writing, No Retreat

Do the attitude and career of committed writers, not only in their literary technique but also in their ethical values, not to mention their audience of readers, lead literature to acquire a value of special significance? Apart from aesthetic propositions, there is writing that transcends time, that stands above convention to become universal: this is a literature that does not negotiate with ideologies or with the tastes of the day, which means it must be based on radicalism and a decision to approach it boldly, with no retreat.
