impersonator of profundities

Robert Inchausti, from his author page at the big online bookseller:

I am bourgeois to the core and plebeian beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to great writers and thinkers as my anti-type, my shadow, the voice of genius I never possessed. So I don’t think of myself as a teacher or a writer so much as “an impersonator of profundities” inhabiting the wisdom of texts in the naked confidence that the value of the thoughts I express transcend the particular fraud that I am the one espousing them. It doesn’t bother me when nobody seems to notice what I have to say because those anonymous, silent readers I know nothing about — who value my books for their own personal reasons — are enough to keep me going — living on the wings of borrowed metaphors.
