Fiction does more than entertain, the best fiction exercises our humanity in ways which might not be possible with nonfiction.
Nonfiction need not read like crop reports or scientific papers. The best analogy is to photography. Photography is by its nature nonfiction, and yet we recognize that all photographs are not equal. Some are beautiful, some are moving, some are dry and clinical. They all inform, but some do more.
