This is part of the reason why I wrote a novel. It allowed me to smash together a lot of the things I wanted to say about the world in a somewhat entertaining and sobering story between the cover of one single book. This is difficult to accomplish in non-fiction unless one is writing about the rich and engaging lives of some of life’s most experienced leaders. There is definitely a place for compelling biography, but outside that small group of humans, there is an infinite number of stories to tell that can give wisdom and highlight the human lessons we can all learn without experiencing them first-hand (which can be frustrating or even dangerous).
