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:
“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
