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.

The aim, in other words, was to grab the publisher’s attention, in the same way that someone might, thanks to a pickup line, attract that of the snooty stranger he had a crush on. And not because, in the crucial mo-ment of addressing it to her, as inventive as it may be, she’s stunned by his repulsive breath.
A very thorough combing of the first paragraph, and a bit of brushing and gargling with a mouthwash solu-tion were therefore essential before he sent his nov-el out into the world. It wasn’t, however, as if it was destined to be the first one up. That it happened to be so was due to the violent ousting of its predeces-sor, which was deemed incorrigible and to have bitten
- What if it’s in pdf format?
- Metaphorically speaking, give me a break.
- Yeah, right. As if the publisher doesn’t have better things to do than read whatever rubbish people send. He/she is probably going to pass it over to one of the junior employees.
