is "the coming into awareness by art of its precarious status and responsibilities." He admires only the work of artists "aware of the fact that in today's world there is no place for natural, spontaneous creation." A work such as Don Quixote can seem a proto-modernist work in its alertness to "the dead wood of convention" and in its willingness to explore "the nature of novels and their ontological status." Cervantes was therefore the right kind of enchanter, one who knew how to pull "the rug (the magic carpet) from under our feet."from Powells: Review-A-Day: After the Revolution
