Summary/Abstract: This paper is concerned with the ever-growing tension between two arrogances: the creative writer’s and the knowledgeable reader’s. It is also an attempt to answer questions such as: ‘why do people write?’, ‘why do they read?’, or, ‘which are the consequences of studying literature in the classroom?’.
