    The object of this paper is to further understand how reading literature increases capacity for empathy, and how narratives positively influence human beings. This will be done via a close reading of China Miéville's "Perdido Street Station" with particular focus on the character Yagharek whose tragic situation and journey provides a starting point for a discussion about empathy. The question is whether speculative fiction can be more capable of triggering empathy than other genres. In his analysis Dennis Friedrichsen demonstrates the ways in which fantasy literature creates an effective distance to the real world in order to negotiate complicated issues of morality, ethics and empathy.
