WHEN I am teaching creative writing I often quote the oxymoron
that fiction is 'a lie that tells a truth'. Writers imagine and
create characters, which, hopefully, rise from the page as flesh
and blood. The author will place them in challenging situations
- be it a conflict, a dilemma, an issue of love or ambition -
and through their experiences, adventures and decisions they
emerge at the other end changed, and the reader, in turn,
empathises, learns or has confirmed some philosophical truth
about the meaning of life.
