jfbStephen King has a "fictional essay" in Book Magazine about the wildfire popularity of literary fiction, to the detriment of America's struggling pop novelists. The first footnote:
This quote and this source--like all the quotes and sources in this essay--are, of course, fictitious. One may argue that this to some extent negates the arguments that the essay makes, but since actual sources supporting those arguments don't exist, all I can say is that it seemed necessary.You'd have to find the magazine to read the whole thing, but the beginning is online.
