Welcome back, Nestlings!

Today, Karin and Beth Anne discuss fiction as a way to process our world. When the world feels dark, lonely, and scary, how do we process what is going on around us?

As J.R.R. Tolkein writes in On Fairy Stories, “Why should a man be scorned, if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not because less real because the prisoner cannot see it.”
