[Ads-l] 'Nonfiction novel" arrives at the West Indies

[Joel Berson]

Well, at least by antithesis.
"You have to pinch yourself when you go to bed at night," said Brent Sancho, Trinidad's new sports minister and a 2006 World Cup participant who has long jousted with the elder Mr. Warner. "You think you're writing a fiction novel. It's hard to believe what transpired and for such a long period of time."

NYTimes, June 8, 2015, front page article (continued on sports pages) about the aforementioned Mr. Warner.

Or perhaps a "fiction novel" is a novel that is so fantastic that t begs belief.
