INTERVIEWER
In writing about Anglo-Saxon attitudes, then, you aren’t seeking to change them?
WILSON
Oh, no. I don’t think it’s the novelist’s job to give answers. He’s only concerned with exposing the human situation, and if his books do good incidentally that’s all well and good. It’s rather like sermons.
INTERVIEWER
Isn’t a sermon intended to do good?
WILSON
Only to the individual, not to society. It’s designed to touch the heart—and I hope my books touch the heart now and again.
