One can’t tell writers what to do. The imagination must find its own path. But one can fervently wish that they—that we—would come back from the periphery. We do not, we writers, represent mankind adequately.
Saul Bellow, ”The Nobel Lecture,” published in the Summer 1977 issue of The American Scholar.
