Zygmunt Bauman wijst er ons op dat, in tijden van globalisatie, schrijvers en hun fictie kunnen zorgen voor betekenis.
Artistic fiction defends hard-won human freedom and redeems human imagination and daring; in a world waging a war of attrition against contingency, ambivalence and mystery, the novel is a perpetual training in the difficult but badly needed art of living under conditions of uncertainty, in the company of polyvalence and among a variety of life forms.
