Interesting.

More thoughts on this coming, but a good article looking at the fiction world in China. Mainly it's a way to escape the state censors, and the increasingly authoritarian ways of the government. Makes me think of what I have been writing about in terms of fiction and about fiction. 
Because there's more to life than state censors, and there are more than just the usual oligarchic censors we have in America. Mainly, I'm thinking about how fiction is used as a Trojan horse. many ideas presented in a clear and concise and non-fiction way, find themselves outside of a person's defenses. A person's censors, if you will. So in that sense, using fiction to say something is worthwhile. 
Most of all, I would think that it's the only way fiction has some staying power. Now that might be our times talking (and comfy times might call for entertaining reading), but that's all I have on that.
