There is something really horrific for any human being who feels he is being consumed by other people. I'm talking about a writer's critics, who don't address what you've written, but want to probe into your existence and magnify the trivia of your life without any sense of humor, without any sense of context.

This quote suggests that writers sometimes have to deal with people who make critical comments about their work that are not focused on the content of what they have written, but instead focus on their personal life. These people don’t seem to understand the writer’s background, their stories, or even their jokes. All they seem to want to do is pick apart the details of the writer’s life without any appreciation for the context. This can be very difficult for the writer to accept and it can be an unpleasant experience.
