"Fiction is the truth inside the lie."
-- Stephen King
I love this quote. It makes me think of all the great novels I've read and plays or movies I've seen whose imagined characters have taught me something real about the human soul. To me, there's more truth in The Kite Runner by the talented Khaled Husseini or in The Trip to Bountiful by the brilliant Horton Foote than in any number of newscasts.
Which novels (or fictional stories from other media) have felt especially true to you?
