it is pure fiction though. one of the other things you may ask or be interested in, as you read, the school that the boys went to is at least a college is called stafford state, and there is the stafford state in little rock, no stafford state in arkansas. so i did that for a lot of good reasons. one being several of the church in the book are not so nice and anybody who went to arkansas with me is perfect. it was great. so i want to make sure that nobody thought i was talking about them. one of the things i hope you get out of the book, and then we'll get on to questions, is that i wanted to talk about growing up in the south. i think that's important, because, and especially i wanted to talk about some issues that were important to me. one of those issues is pray. as my wife says, you can't judge people based on current values. you can't base their actions along time ago on current values. when we grew up in the south, or at least when i grew up in the south, certain words were said, some things were done tha

fiction in general is more highly digital. it can be a literary novel because the reader review you say i would like to read that. you don't have to go anywhere or do anything. you just push a button so we have found commercial and also memoir. i think because a memoir reads like fiction in that it's linear at the beginning and decoded the end. there's not a lot of referring back. the ones that are the least digital other than children's books and cookbooks are serious nonfiction. i think it's because -- i read articles about when you read you will remember something and you want to go back and look any remember what was on the bottom left-hand page. you can't do that digitally so the whole referring back and forth that happens with serious nonfiction is much more difficult to do digitally. so anything that is linear is a linear read seems to be the thing that has the highest digital sales. >> guest: i am vice president designer of digital content development. we make e-books and digital products for all of simon & schuster's

because the fact is that ultimately this is a work of fiction.and his goal was not just to illuminate history, but to illuminate life and human nature. and so i think he was after something bigger. he even mentions it in an introduction to draft of the novel. he's after something bigger than writing about history. he wants to write about what he calls the truth. and the truth requires imagination. it requires a little bit of playing around with facts of reality can kind of putting them together in a different, more imaginative way. and apparently, he was successful because during world war ii soviet soldiers were given copies of "war and peace" to read, and many of them claimed to be more moved -- this was during hitler's invasion of russia -- they claimed to be more moved by tolstoy's description of war than the actual warfare that was taking place before their very eyes. and there are quotations to that effect. so there's something about tolstoy's ability to take reality and make it even more real than reality itself. >> wish i could write thes

i was wondering if you ever entertained the idea of branching out into fiction? >> no. that question is such an insult to nonfiction, just because something is true, no, i'm not a liar. there are tons of other liars whose books you're welcome to buy here. the thing i love about nonfiction is it does not have to seem plausible. nonfiction is about things, that can't be true, but it is. fiction you have to write these stories that seem like it could have happened to people that might exist. you don't have to do that when you're writing about a weirdo like abraham lincoln, or even in this hawaiian story, one thing that happens, as the first missionaries are leaving boston harbor, they are en route to christianize the hawaiians, while they are on the water the new hawaiian king decides to abolish the religion. you put that in one of your fiction-type stories, that's going to seem like, no, that's too easy. but then the missionaries show up and they get the news, guess what, the old religion has been banned and outlawed and there's nothing to replace it. here we just sailed
