Why read fiction? As in, why bother? Especially when it comes to ‘hard’ novels (serious-complicated-posh-literary novels). If someone who only reads Simon Sinek or Mark Manson asks you at a party, what’s the point in reading Proust, what should you say?
'Every gesture I make is part of a complex code. Everything is part of the ritual.'
‘In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.’
'How can Proust change your life? Try reading him, for a start.'
'Smug, rich and inert, we fall below the means test for pity.'
