The Essential Role of Literature

The essential role of literature is to uncover, examine and criticize human possibilities that may go unnoticed by those who do not pay attention or do not imagine them. In short, it is a work of broadening and deepening understanding. Literature is great because it is never exhausted, because it contains within itself the potential of everything not yet imagined, harboring the most strictly personal ideas. These, put down on paper, renew it and enhance it, in an infinite expansion that never fails to make room for a new author.
