In it together, in Zola? Empathic Encounters in Naturalist Fiction
At a time when the \"empathy turn\" is bringing disciplines from psychology to philosophy, and from ethics to literary studies, into ever-closer dialogue, Zola's fiction offers intriguing, complex examples of empathy. Framing my reading of three major novels of Zola relative to contemporary narrative empathy studies and broader societal concerns around empathy, I demonstrate how the Naturalist empathic narrative mobilizes the reader in the act of reimagining the experience and the values of fictional characters. In the process, Zola's fiction reveals the paradoxes and tensions of the empathy encounter, drawing the reader into a more problematized exploration of \"feeling with\" that anticipates debates in empathy studies today.

The Ghostwriter
[...]each story needs to have its all-walks-of-life beginning, its crisis or test of faith, its dark night of the soul, and then its inevitable triumph of spirit, its turnaround. A guy rescues manatees in Florida; a crop duster or beekeeper or fisherman survives some great accident or addiction or loss; someone finds an unopened letter from World War II and forwards it to the widow-the variations are endless for us line-workers at the epiphany plant. [...]by the middle of our conversation-which ranges from the grace of Tiger Woods to why pride is the last possession we release-I'm utterly convinced that something extraordinary has happened to him. [...]when I get the story back for revision the next morning, my editor has written over that cello-soaked takeaway of mine: PREACH IT, BROTHER BILLY!! PREACH IT!!! I feel like a whistle-blower telling you all of this, these inner workings of the ghostwriter, the daily life of the anonymous content provider, a humble commodifier of insight and faith. Someone will always be climbing a mountain or surviving a flood-these are the bread-and-butter stories of God-and we line-workers rarely do justice to the stories that deserve it, just like we do too much justice to others.
