Margaret Atwood on writing perceptions

September 26, 2014 by Dunrie

I’m pondering the intricacies of nonfiction and fiction writing and interpretation. I heard this on the radio and recognized its truth immediately.

When you’re writing fiction, everybody thinks you’re secretly writing about real people and things. But if you write an autobiography, they think you’re lying as one does.

From Margaret Atwood’s interview with Arun Rath on NPR books, interview full text available from WFAE’s website.
