I think what all nonfiction writers are aiming for is to make people think about things differently - to tell you a story from somewhere that, if you're vaguely familiar with it, challenges what you think you know about it, or, if it's a story you've never heard before, introduces you to a whole new place or a whole new idea. I'm basically trying to tilt your worldview a little bit. (Elizabeth Kolbert)
