Tony Burke, Minister for the Arts, speech at the BookUp conference ….But with writing, the shape of the letters, they're not the story. The language creates a picture, a smell, a taste, an excitement that lives entirely in the mind of the reader. It is different to any other art form. It means that we will see different characters, all of us in seeing the same story. We'll feel a slightly different intensity, but we will all be taken on the same roller coaster of emotion and narrative that writers have put together. The narrative then ultimately, how we picture it, how we see it, how we feel it, lives within our own imagination, it has a personal depth that no other art form can match. A personal depth that no other art form can come close to.
