“Sometimes fiction can help bring the authentic feeling of a personal encounter to history in ways that are tough to manage in historical non-fiction. I like both genres, but I've definitely read non-fiction that reads like a snake's shed skin while purporting to describe the living, moving snake.” — James Goldberg
