Mark,
Re your comment below:
"This talk of the 'it really happened' defense reminds me
that, in an interview (in Rolling Stone?), John Irving said
students often whined that in repsonse to his criticism. His
stock response was that there was no real story that could
not be made better."
That reminds me of a comment Al Collins made in response to
criticism that he changed facts around in his historical
mystery novels to suit the story he was telling.
"God's a great storyteller," Collins said, "but He's a lousy
plotter. That's why He created writers."
