narrative truth ?


narrative truth ?  how ridiculous !

if, narrative is not meant for truth, then what's it for ?

it's for artistic (aesthetic) consolation (Cf philosophy is for metaphysical consolation)


e.g.  stranger than fiction, more fictional than fiction

e.g.  the limit of human imagination

e.g.  the limit of human experience

e.g.  the limit of human folly

e.g.  the limit of human fall

e.g.  the limit of human evils

e.g.  the limit of human endurance

e.g.  the limit of human self-deception

e.g.  the limit of human kindness
