A mighty prolix way of saying "what is the meaning of life?"
- Jasamba 11y agoAgreed, but then that's literature's way of saying anything, the more prolix the better.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoOnly within limits. And those limits are as defined by the audience, not by the author. (Or rather, the author, by setting the verbosity, determines the audience. If you want to reach the New Yorker audience, use lots of words. If you want to reach the average HN reader, not so much.)
