Barbara Kingsolver Quotes

A Novel Works It's Magic By Putting A Reader Inside Another Person's Life. The Pace Is As Slow As Life. It's As Detailed As Life. It Requires You, The Reader, To Fill In An Outline Of Words With Vivid Pictures Drawn Subconsciously From Your Own Life, So That The Story Feels More Personal Than The Sets Designed By Someone Else And Handed Over Via TV Or Movies. Literature Duplicates The Experience Of Living In A Way That Nothing Else Can, Drawing You So Fully Into Another Life That You Temporarily Forget You Have One Of Your Own. That Is Why You Read It, And Might Even Sit Up In Bed Till Early Dawn, Throwing Your Whole Tomorrow Out Of Whack, Simply To Find Out What Happens To Some People Who, You Know Perfectly Well, Are Made Up. It's Why You Might Find Yourself Crying, Even If You Aren't The Crying Kind.
