“Literature is invention. Fiction is fiction. To call a story a true story is an insult to both art and truth. Every great writer is a great deceiver, but so is that arch-cheat Nature. Nature always deceives. From the simple deception of propagation to the prodigiously sophisticated illusion of protective colors in butterflies or birds, there is in Nature a marvelous system of spells and wiles. The writer of fiction only follows Nature’s lead.” —Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature

When the book just goes too far, and there are just too many feels. We’re looking at you: George R. R. Martin and JK Rowling.
