Let the Reader Understand
I laughed at the warning located at the beginning of Wendell Berry's novel Jayber Crow (which is a great read, BTW):
NOTICE
Persons attempting to find a "text" in this book will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a "subtext" in it will be banished; persons attempting to explain, interpret, explicate, analyze, deconstruct, or otherwise "understand" it will be exiled to a desert island in the company only of other explainers.
BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR
