The traditional novel form continues to enlarge our experience in those very areas where the wide-angle lens and the Cinema screen tend to narrow it.

Summary

This quote suggests that while mediums like film may offer wider visual perspectives, traditional novels have the ability to expand our understanding and perception of the world in ways that film cannot. Novels allow for a deeper exploration of thoughts, emotions, and complexities, going beyond the visual realm provided by cameras. They offer a more immersive experience by delving into the inner workings of characters and the intricate details of their experiences, ultimately broadening our understanding of the human condition.
