García Márquez / Quotes / One single fact

Gabriel García Márquez

ONE SINGLE FACT
by Gabriel García Márquez
BIOGRAPHY

In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That’s the only difference, and it lies in the commitment of the writer. A novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it.
