Literature's corner

Literature and life, a union which can not be deferred for many people, but is fatal for somebody. How can you imagine to combine the two words if you stay in a provincial town, and if you work as a responsible for social and cultural services in a small town hall, where people are more interested in TV wathching and drinking in the bars?
We can reflect about Leonardo Sciascia's words, written in a book entitled "The witch and the captain":

Because the man can know nothing
about himself and about the world
if the literature doesn't teach him.
