Is fact really stranger than fiction? You be the judge!

A piece of writing is nonfiction if it is about real people, events, or facts. - fiction とは、架空の人物や出来事について書かれた小説のことです。
nonfiction は、実在する人や現実の出来事、事実に基づいた実録のことをいいます。
- Do you prefer to read fiction or nonfiction?
- I've been reading some great Japanese fiction these days, like “Kokoro” and “I am a Cat”.
- (leaving a movie theater)
a: Oh, what a great movie! Do you think it was a true story?
b: No, I'm sure it was fiction. - MAN: Where can I find books on time management?
LIBRARIAN: Look in the nonfiction section under “Self-Help”. - Many critics agree that Darwin's “The Origin of Species” is one of the most important works of nonfiction ever published.
That's all for today - and that's a fact!
