About this Quote

This quote by Vincent Canby talks with the concept of hack fiction, which is a type of writing that is usually seen as low-quality and unimaginative. It is a type of writing that is created to manipulate the viewers's inquisitiveness without really offering any purposeful resolution or link to the real world. Hack fiction often relies on cheap thrills and also shock value to maintain the visitor engaged, however it fails to supply any kind of genuine substance or understanding. It is a sort of composing that is commonly seen as superficial and unfulfilling, as it does not give any kind of real link to the reader's life or the world around them. Hack fiction is commonly viewed as a method to make a quick buck, but it stops working to offer any type of real worth or insight.
