Francine Prose
Novelist; author of the best-seller Reading Like a Writer

"I trust fiction more than nonfiction. When you read really good fiction, the writers are telling you the truth. John Cheever, for instance. Everything I might need to know about what it means to live in a family, to be a human being, is in his novels. I can't think of any higher trust."
