Wow. One of the most interesting things I've read in a long while. As a reader, I've sometimes felt that I wasn't always up to the challenge of seeing the symbolism in some books. It's nice to now understand that what I thought was necessary is not only not necessary, but not desired by many authors.
That the searching and groping for hidden meanings in a work, can pull the enjoyment right out of the thing.
I do love hearing an author's own feelings on their characters. But after I've finished a book, not before.
