But is it Real?

Peter Rozovsky, always one to keep readers on their intellectual toes with his questions, is now wondering whether or not crime fiction may be closer to real life than news reporting.

Darned if I know... but at least his post got me up and running with a response...

I'm tempted to wheel out that old chestnut... "what is Reality?" All media are a form of art, floating above the real world in my view of things. Photography is increasingly the medium I cling to when recording outings and I wonder if graphic novels may not be on the increase because readers like images so much more than words? Just some lazy Sunday morning thoughts...
