A Few Words From Audrey Niffenegger

"...the great thing about fiction is that anything can happen. In fiction, the ghost has just as much reality as any other characters, because they're all imaginary.
"You can do anything in fiction. There's no ethical thing holding you to accuracy in reporting. So why can't the monkeys fly? Why can't we live in a world where everybody eats blood oranges? There should be in fiction an element of experimentation...."--novelist Audrey Niffenegger, from "Anything Can Happen" (profile) by Kevin Nance, Poets & Writers, November/December 2009
