Fiction and nonfiction are commonly distinguished by their relation to facts: documentaries tell us about the real world, while novels are about the imaginary. This book argues that this contrast is misguided. The book proposes that works of fiction are about reality, though they invite us to imagine it differently from how it actually is.
