In Fiction

Thomas Seinbeck's "In the Shade of the Cypress" (published 2010) is a historical novel whose main character is Zhou Man.

In his book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World, amateur historian Gavin Menzies claimed that Zhou Man's fleet approached and mapped the Pacific coast of North America and may have been wiped out by a megatsunami resulting from a meteor impact creating Mahuika crater.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    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)

    ... all fiction may be autobiography, but all autobiography is of course fiction.
    Shirley Abbott (b. 1934)
