Initially heard from Jorge R. Gutierrez at LBX 2024

[Fiction] reading frequently places us in a position that is both like and unlike the position we occupy in life; like, in that we are emotionally involved with the characters, active with them, and aware of our incompleteness; unlike, in that we are free of the sources of distortion that frequently impede our real-life deliberations. (Nussbaum 1990, 48)
