I’m so into memoir and autobiographical comics, I forget there is such a thing as fiction. I was a bit disappointed to find out it didn’t truly happen this way. It was well written and it seemed real, so I wonder why it matters to me. A good story is a good story, right?
Hi Betje. I honestly prefer reading fiction. The real world and life already weighs heavy on my shoulders & heart, I love to drown in a story that I know isn't real.
If though it can adress some real-world issues, for instance Harry Potter. I love the humor and suspence as well as the fantastic side, while simultaneously appreciating the "hidden" messages. And though I feel the suspense as you-know-who gains power it doesn't personally affect me because it's not real. Another example when I read the kite-running it made me physically sick and kept me up at night.
There are exceptions of course; the bunker diaries kept me up too! :'D
At least you can draw a line (literally!) between real and unreal, true and false, unlikely many Americans. I just like a good story, prefer to read fiction, though I write memoir and criticism. As long as the story is well told. And I like your stories. "7 plus 7=14," and they're out the door before you can figure out the math. Delightful.
