That his interest in the details of the lives of the billions of people with whom he so incontinently (and superficially) compassionates is less than obsessive is demonstrated by the following blast against the power of literature: To believe that, from reading books, you know what it really feels like to starve, to be in continual pain, to watch your children die--in short, to subsist in the Third World--is not refinement of sensibility but a trivialization of others' sufferings.
