"To call a story a true story is an insult to both art and truth." - Vladimir Nabokov. Explain, in as much glorious detail as you can, why calling a story a true story is an insult to art. Then also explain why calling a story true is an insult to truth. The more thorough and thoughtful your answer is, the more extra credit you will earn.

Answer:

Hey! I will try to explain it the way I know it.......To call a story a true story is an insult to art because learning,reading or writing a story is never enough people will still have new ideas and new things to come about everyday if they want to write a story so saying that a story is a real story is an insult because no matter how you write the story it can never be perfect it will either have mistakes or it may not have all the perfect features in it ,and calling a story a true story is an insult to truth also because you can't lie to yourself that the story is perfect and the story is the best one you have ever seen before when people still have better ideas instead....No matter how yiu try to perfect a story it can never be a true story....Thank you for the question..I hope my answers helps you
