I can't imagine what would happen to literature today if one were obliged to congregate in an unpleasant hall and read novels projected on a screen.

Oh, my. Fiction put in a good effort, but truth pulls ahead as always:

Nor is it precisely a theatricalization of the novel .... Rather, in “Gatz” ... the text of “The Great Gatsby” is spoken aloud, all forty-nine thousand words of it
