P.S. Baber Quotes

Good Fiction Doesn't Claim To Mirror Reality At All. It Indicts Reality By Providing A Paradigm Of Shape And Order And Justice - The Way We All Know Things Should Be - Without Suggesting That's How Things Really Are. Good Fiction Is The Mirage That Declares Itself A Mirage, Yet Compels Us To Faith Through Its Beauty. Good Fiction Is The Dream That's Too Good To Be True, So Perfect And Symmetrical That It Gives Itself Away Every Time. But It Doesn't Trick You Into Suspending Your Disbelief By Trying To Look Anything Like Reality. Good Fiction Makes You Acutely, Painfully Aware Of Your Disbelief, And Makes You Believe Anyway. And When It's Done Well - When It's Done Right - Good Fiction Is More Real Than Reality.
