| Sumario: | Here we propose a new perspective regarding the difference between literary fiction and nonfiction: the very different nature of the writing rules they admit. Although with some limitations, non-fictional narratives admit more or less rigid writing rules because they are obligated to maintain a certain correspondence scheme with the real world. However, fictional literary narrations, freed from any strict or systematic correspondence with reality, do not admit these fixed rules. Given that in fiction it is not possible to have such a text-word correspondence scheme, we defend that the only rules (or rather, the only guidelines) fictional literary narrations admit are those which affect the very creation of the text—that is, those which affect the subjective attitude of the writer. |
