- Is it old-fashioned to think that the purpose of literature is to educate us about life?
- Well, it does educate us about life. i wouldn’t be the person i am, i wouldn’t understand what i understand, were it not for certain books. i’m thinking of the great question of nineteenth-century russian literature: how should one live? a novel worth reading is an education of the heart. it enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world. it’s a creator of inwardness.
