A’propos Ten Best Texts as fiction. I’m sure no one at Friam holds to
the techno-barbarian view that nothing valuable can be gained from
fiction. In my opinion the important human values can be illuminated
_only_ by fiction. After all, the King James Bible (1611) is about the
best thing in fiction the English have ever done.
When told that his work was “untrue”, Pablo* agreed, remarking: “*Art
is a lie that helps us see the truth”.*
This seems a valuable insight.
