Does fiction mean true or not true?

2 Answers

Fiction means not true. It describes imaginary events and (or) people.

Technically, fiction is not true, though that is arguably an exaggeration. Good fiction has been described as "the lie that tells the truth" -- that is, while the people and events are a product of the author's imagination, there is usually a message at its core that applies to real life.
