Geoff Ryman Quotes
Literature For Me ... Tries To Heal The Harm Done By Stories. (How Much Harm? Most Of The Atrocities Of History Have Been Created By Stories, E.g., The Jews Killed Jesus.) I Follow Sartre That The Freedom The Author Claims For Herself Must Be Shared With The Reader. So That Would Mean That Literature Is Stories That Put Themselves At The Disposal Of Readers Who Want To Heal Themselves. Their Healing Power Lies In Their Honesty, The Freshness Of Their Vision, The New And Unexpected Things They Show, The Increase In Power And Responsibility They Give The Reader.
