When Lehrer writes that novels feel true, and you ask, “but are they?” you create a significant critical space that you can come back to explore. You do an excellent job reading critically. Make sure that you note the concrete examples Lehrer provides. This may take a second read, as this is a rather dense text, and a second read may allow you to better focus on the details rather than working to follow his, at times, looping logic.
