Zadie Smith on Fiction

"Fiction messes with our sense of what is possible to do with our judgements. It usefully suspends our great and violent desire to be in the right on every question, and creates an unholy and ungovernable mix of the true and the false. It’s the place where things are true and not true simultaneously: the ultimate impossibility."
Zadie Smith, from “The I Who Is Not Me”, Feel Free: Essays
