9/28 Response

After reading over Raymound Roussel’s “How I Wrote Certain of My Books”, it makes you understand his method a bit clearer. He is right to say that without giving a clear direction, some may not be able to exploit his work. I believe Roussel’s version of creative writing is what I would’ve come to expect. To the average person it may seem strange taking a word and creating another, but to the creative writer, it is simply unique and creative in itself. I like the aspect of branching off from a single word. It’s almost obvious that there is a hidden message in his works.
