“2013, Will Self, quoted in The Guardian: "Falling short: seven writers reflect on failure" https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jun/22/falling-short-writers-reflect-failure An unavoidable sequel of the posterity delusion is the death of the writerly self, which depends too much on incoherence and inconsistency to remain pompous for long. And of course, the vast majority of today's mummified immortals are tomorrow's Ozymandiases.”
