“There is pleasure from learning the simple truth, and there is a pleasure from learning that the truth is not simple.”
Wayne C. Booth, The Rhetoric of Fiction

“We may exhort ourselves to read tolerantly, we may quote Coleridge on the willing suspension of disbelief until we think ourselves totally suspended in a relativistic universe, and still we will find many books which postulate readers we refuse to become, books that depend on 'beliefs' or 'attitudes'...which we cannot adopt even hypothetically as our own.”
Wayne C. Booth
