To criticize the novel on that score, however, misses the mark. One great purpose of fiction is to teach us about life, about what it truly means to be human. The magic of great fiction is that a created story, one that even tests credulity in some respects, can accomplish that important and grand purpose better than a more realistic recitation of "the facts" out of which the imagination and skill of the fiction writer has woven the tale.Danmarkhttp://rantofimitation.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
