Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Illusion is needed to disguise the emptiness within.
Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.
As a writer of fiction, lying is the central thing to all books.
At the end of 'Illusions,' readers should see the inevitable coming.
I think novels are profoundly autobiographical. If writers deny that, they are lying. Or if it's really true, then I think it's a mistake.
Most writers are drawn to what is unknown, rather than what is clear in any tale.
Belief in the absence of illusions is itself an illusion.
Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
An autobiography can distort; facts can be realigned. But fiction never lies: it reveals the writer totally.
There's a way in which 'The Illusion' is a play about the theater.
