literatize

As for so many other of our vices we are indebted to them too for the disposition to "literatize" and " articize " life.

Self-conscious, saddled with primerous blurbs and introductory matter, it is so sophisticated, so scrupulous in crediting even the supplier who manufactures the Science Fiction Writers of America's Nebula Award tokens (sic), that it resembles some kind of grotesque attempt to literatize a corporate statement.

He says of himself in a letter to a friend: "I literatize away the morning, ride at three, go to bathe at five, dine at six, and get through the evening as I best may, sometimes by correcting a proof.”
