This book is fiction. But there is always a chance that such a work of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact. —Ernest Hemingway (A Moveable Feast 230)

[I]t is the author’s contention that good fiction—if the writer can achieve it—is more real, that is, more nourishing to our sense of reality, than non-fiction. . . . novelists have a unique opportunity—they can create superior histories out of an enhancement of the real, the unverified, and the wholly fictional. —Norman Mailer (Harlot’s Ghost 1287–8)
