About the Author 221
Why should we read? We assume that reading is good for us, but often we cannot articulate
exactly what it does for us. In this fascinating book, Sarah E. Worth addresses the many ways
in which reading benefits us morally, socially, and cognitively from a philosophical perspective.
Worth leads her readers through the subtle questions of the ways in which we understand fiction,
nonfiction, and the overlap and blending of other genre distinctions. Ultimately, she argues that
reading, hearing, and telling well-told stories is of the utmost importance in developing a healthy
sense of personal identity, a greater sense of narrative coherence, and an increased ability to
make different kinds of inferences. |
