Making Up the Truth Truth in Fiction, Hugh Mackay , single work essay
Hugh Mackay posits the idea that a novelist may come closer to the 'ideal of truth telling' than a social researcher. Because fiction 'springs directly from my own imagination, fed by my own experience' says Mackay, 'I'm free to tell it exactly as it occurs to me. My social analysis is an educated attempt to capture others' reality; the novels draw on my own personal reality.'
