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.

come a completely different person. Fatally, whatever he previously deemed to be high art, he now looked down on. As a result, all of his phrases and ideas were permanently provisional, much more so that along the way, due to social changes on the one hand and the inevitable improvement of his writing skills on the other, his fresh ones would get stale; it was therefore imperative that, similarly to yogurts in the supermar-ket that have expired, they were withdrawn forthwith, the sometimes subversive ones were decapitated for getting gentrified, whereas the erstwhile decent and the up-until-recently politically correct ones that got out of line, were either permanently expelled for in-decent exposure, or temporarily displaced to reforma-tion camps with the intention of reintegrating them into the social fabric. And because the time would come sooner or later for their substitutes too, there was not, nor would ever be, a single one of them, on stable ground. Maybe that’s why, with the threat of a lifetime revocation permanently looming over their heads, they stood at the ready and behaved.
He would send it, even if he wasn’t in a position to assert not only whether he thought it decent enough, but also if he even liked it. And he was not in such a position, less by nature than by position. For (accord-
