And I'm not sure I believe it, unless by "in a way" he means something like "using words is a poetic [?] way, and not using bodies in movement, paint on canvas, and so on." And that, of course, must be true, but trivially. Paint:
"Painting has the capacity to deal with the nonevents of life in a way that other art forms couldn't possibly manage."
Hmm. It seems equally likely.
"Dance has the capacity to deal with the nonevents of life in a way that other art forms couldn't possibly manage."
That also seems as likely. And:
"Music has the capacity to deal with the nonevents of life in a way that other art forms couldn't possibly manage."
