Maria is starting Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions

“This is the most I think we can hope for from novels: not the dawning of knowledge, but the exposure of its limit. To realize you have been wrong about something is, I believe to experience the otherness of the world coming at you. It is to be thrown off-center.”
