Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers.

even absent, counted. Τhe present, because it was ob-ligated by law to prove, displaying at any given mo-ment the relevant badge, that it was not an interloper, that it was accredited, that in other words – as in a dish where the slightest seasoning is added only if it adds something to it – its presence served some particular purpose; and the absent, thanks to its justified absence from the text, sparing it from anything undesirable or inappropriate. Along the way, he would discover that the same by extension was true about the phrases, the paragraphs, the chapters, as well as his entire novels.
In the beginning, to be perfectly honest, Stergiou had a tough time. As it were, he belonged to a gen-eration completely unaccustomed to reading recalci-trant texts, that’s why he came very close to giving it all up and only the prospect of having to, in a rush, change his dissertation topic prevented him from doing so. From thereon it was only a matter of time before he warmed to it.
