Fiction

Betsy said: "You have to understand."

Betsy said, "You have to understand that fiction protects the writer's life. It's a shield that lets the writer attack the world. How?"

She answered her own question: "By turning the writer into a laughable existence."

Amen.

Then she said, "And fiction protects the world from one-sided bigotry."

Amen to that, too.
