8/8 PT I think it an abuse to use the novel as a pulpit or a platform, and
I believe readers are misguided when they suppose they can thus
easily acquire knowledge. It is a great nuisance that knowledge
can only be acquired by hard work. It would be fine if we could
swallow the powder of profitable information made palatable
by the jam of fiction. But the truth is that, so made palatable,
we can’t be sure that the powder will be profitable, for the
knowledge the novelist imparts is biased and thus unreliable;
and it is better not to know a thing at all than to know it in a
distorted fashion. There is no reason why a novelist should be
anything but a novelist. It is enough if he is a good novelist. He
should know a little about a great many things, but it is
unnecessary, and sometimes even harmful, for him to be a
specialist in any particular subject. He need not eat a whole
sheep to know what mutton tastes like: it is enough if he eats
a chop. Then, by applying his imagination and his creative
faculty to the chop he has eaten, he can give you a pretty good
idea of an Irish stew; but when he goes on from this to broach
