We have long spoken about the uses of literature. However, this chapter for the first time speaks about the uselessness of literature, or sahitya. True to the spirit of the across in the book and Ghosh’s (in)fusion approach, this chapter explains what it means to see uselessness as a nonevent of literature, as the powerful moment that constitutes what he argues is the sacredness of literature, sahitya’s secular sacredness. The chapter provides a very unconventional reading of Robert Frost’s “Birches” to show how the poem can be experienced uselessly, beyond the domains of the reified and accepted modes of reading. This chapter, then, is about literature’s mattering in the nonevent, the unnamed, the unascribed, something that redefines our understanding of use or waste. This constructs the sacredness of sahitya.
