Blake Butler—
3:am has a fantastic interview with Dennis Cooper regarding, among other things, Ugly Man (which I read in one sitting last week and loved, a possible explanation for my recent influx of sublimely jarring dreams), and includes the quote: “The generally held idea that the kinds of things I write about aren’t ’serious’ or aren’t what a truly serious literary work would concentrate on is just an insurmountable and boring enemy that I accepted would be there for all eternity a long time ago.”
What are the serious subjects again? I forget.

This, and your heart discussion, made me think of this quote from Patricia Highsmith-
“art essentially has nothing to do with morality, convention or moralizing…. I find the public passion for justice quite boring and artificial, for neither life nor nature care if justice is ever done or not.”
Funnily, I think her best novels and stories actually are all about heart and morality and the lack thereof, in very much thier own way, which is to say, not the way maybe many a reader understands discussing those subjects. But I think it’s great how she just didn’t give a shit about the “public passion” (and I’ll add, whatever that means.)
