Christopher Lasch
<i>The Culture of Narcissism</i>
(1979)

<i>"When T.S. Eliot appended reference notes to </i>The Waste Land<i>, he became one of the first poets to call attention to his own imaginative transformation of reality, but he did so in order to expand the reader's awareness of allusions and to create a deeper imaginative resonance—not, as in these more recent instances, to demolish the reader's confidence in the author."</i>
(p. 20)

re: "everyone listens differently"

A tenuous borrowing here, I admit, but in among Stephenson's <i>"definitions and principles"</i> for his mass communication research methodology are these two: 

"<i>1. Communication via mass communication is grasped by </i>persons<i>, not </i>audiences<i>.

...

3. What communication means, what its effects are, what may or may not result from it, is never directly a matter of ideas, notions, beliefs, attitudes, opinions, wishes, or the like, but always directly ideas, notions, beliefs, etc., </i>of a person<i>."</i>

(<i>The Play Theory of Mass Communication</i>, pp. 31-32)
