âIn reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when weâre done with it, we may find â if itâs a good novel â that weâre a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have been changed a little, as if by having met a new face, crossed a street we never crossed before. But itâs very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed.â
â Ursula K. Le Guin, The Language of the Night
