Horse Whispers & Lies

"Fact is the underpinning of morality," said Suzannah Lessard, author of The Architect of Desire at the 1997 National Book Awards. "The issue came up," she said, "because there were some books where we had to wonder about the nature of the material. There were memoirs," she said, "that reconstructed extraordinarily detailed conversations from decades past. It raised an issue for us that it was an imaginary work."

Readers of nonfiction have a right to expect the truth. Anything less is false advertising—a crime in any other business. Should the book business not be held to the same standards?
