Interviewer: Is it old-fashioned to think that the purpose of literature is to educate us about life?

Sontag:  Well, it does educate us about life.  I wouldn’t be the person I am, I wouldn’t understand what I understand, were it not for certain books.  I’m thinking of the great question of nineteenth-century Russian literature: how should one live?  A novel worth reading is an education of the heart.  It enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world.  It’s a creator of inwardness.
