Big Chill - Fiction

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

“... fiction never exceeds the reach of the writer’s courage.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

“Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
