“We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind—mass
merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of
advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into
popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities
within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or
original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We
live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less
and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel.
The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the
reality.”
