That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.
Tim O'Brien
A lie, sometimes, can be truer than the truth, which is why fiction gets written.

A good piece of fiction, in my view, does not offer solutions. Good stories deal with our moral struggles, our uncertainties, our dreams, our blunders, our contradictions, our endless quest for understanding. Good stories do not resolve the mysteries of the human spirit but rather describe and expand up on those mysteries.

What stories can do, I guess, is make things present.I can look at things I never looked at. I can attach faces to grief and love and pity and God. I can be brave. I can make myself feel again.
