At what point does real, when tangled with embellishment, become fiction? What is truth when viewed by different people or seen from a different angle? History itself may be scoffed at, or viewed in another way if it had been written by the defeated, repressed, or vanquished. When it comes to truth and reality, and fabrication and fiction, there is often a very thin line between the two. In this collection we feature novels that are based on real events, or contain real people. The novels mentioned here may be ever so loosely based on reality, have a simple flutter-by of a real person, or could be saturated in historical events.
