I think he’s saying that when he tries to put down his thoughts into writing, there is something inevitably lost in translation, and then most people (or maybe everybody) can’t really get at what he’s trying to say because words are a clumsy attempt to articulate ideas. Could be totally off base, never read a word of his writing.

Writes pour their emotions, though, hopes and fantasy into a book and critics just see a bundle of pages with letters on them

His thoughts and experiences will never be truly conveyed in a way that people could feel how he felt, not just read how he felt.

This is literally a John Green quote.

"Wardine be cry."

I love Wallace but that line could no doubt be something out of a Green book.
