Fiction is really often much more useful than lived experience; it takes much less time, costs nothing {from the library}, and it comes in a manageable, orderly form. You can understand it. Experience just steamrollers over you and you begin to see what happened only years and years later, if ever. Fiction is much better than reality at providing factual, psychological, and moral understanding.
