“I have recently visited Russia for the third time.
I don’t know how well I understand Russians;
but I do know that if I had only read Russian history
I could not have had the access to Russian thinking I have had from reading
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Pushkin, Turgenev, Sholokhov, and Ehrenburg.
History only recounts, with some inaccuracy, what they did.
The fiction tells, or tries to tell, why they did it and what they felt and were like when they did it.”
—John Steinbeck, America and Americans
