Fiction is Good for the Brain
Here’s some news I feel like I’ve always known intuitively: writing fiction fine-tunes the brain. For more than two thousand years people have insisted that reading fiction is good for you. Aristotle claimed that poetry—he meant the epics of Homer and the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, which we would now call fiction—is a [...]
