Fiction is realer than non-fiction.
Realer in the sense that it is better at expressing the truths that are realest to us, closest to our actual experiences.
Fiction reveals truths about life and the human condition more efficiently than non-fiction.
It's why ancient civilizations expressed their most important values through myths. It's why Nietzsche's most important work took the form of a novel.
It's why today we read The Odyssey instead of Herodutus' Histories. Facts change by the decade.
The human truths expressed in literature have remained a constant for millennia. Fiction is realer than non-fiction
