Now a great deal is made about truth.
This is, of course, fiction, completely and utterly fictitious, the people, places, events, they never existed. You know. I'm not concealing it, not a whit. Anything written down of necessity becomes a lie - for it is never as simple as all that, no matter how I try to persuade you, it is - it becomes - a lie the moment that you read it. Know this.
Everything you've been told, everything I'm telling you now, everything I'm going to tell you, lies, lies and more damnable lies.
