truth vs storytelling: // The truth that literature provides does not need to prove itself in any empirical way, except in the sense that this truth resonates with the readers sense of truth. And this, in turn, becomes a point of reference: a story nugget that is stored in the temporal lobes, to emerge as insight and revelation in the context of real life. These nuggets, in turn, become parts of new stories, and together the metanarrative of human culture spins a half-real, half-fictional reality. In the words of David Wilson, the narratives that prove most innately satisfying spread and become culture. //
