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. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction.

And even if they did, say, that at least they did it, not selectively but everywhere, so as to even out.
Screw it, he would send it.
You forgot the most important thing: Screw it, he would send it, even if he couldn’t bear the thought, so joined at the hip they had become, of either parting with it, or knuckling down for a new novel.

“So, in the end, Mr Panourgias, is what you are doing ‘literature’(logotechnia)?”
“I’m afraid not. Because, I am neither uttering some-thing, nor practising some form of art37. Now, if apart from writing, I am also “authoring”, it is as lost to me as it is to an actor (ethopoios) if, by acting, she is also creating ethos38. In the end, what in our language is considered to be a unique asset, to put, that is, two words together, see logos+texhne, – neither allowing for the other to breathe freely –, where the rest of them get away with a single one, see literature, sets us up for a fall. How? By having us professing to something that we never claimed in the first place.”
“Fine, let me put it differently, then. Might Look at that be a novel (mythhistorima)?”
