An Inclusive Litany

1/23/94

Wallace Shawn in the San Francisco Examiner's Image Magazine, September 5, 1993:
I feel an incredible sympathy for the maligned communist bureaucrats who tried to provide housing to all the people. But they made certain mistakes by not being aware of certain aspects of the human soul. I mean, to build unbelievably ugly housing with no corners of beauty in it was misguided because people felt depressed in those buildings. The next round of leftists has to be aware of every aspect of the human soul, including the desire to read "People" and enjoy it and why we enjoy it and what need it fulfills.
