Pynchon and fascism

[Malignd]

<<POV is also present in nonfiction or essayist
literature as well.  For example, there is a
difference in the POV of a work by Sartre versus
Plato, yet they are both "prose".  In other words,
simply because a piece is not fiction does not mean it
cannot contain traditional fictional components of
circumlocution, hyperbole, satire, deception and that
ultimate POV, the unreliable narrator/POV, amongst
others.>>

This is true, but I think it states things in a
confused order that perpetuates the blurring of
fiction with non-fiction or the idea that all writing
is fiction (or whatever).  It's not so much the case
that other sorts of prose contain "traditional
fictional components"; rather that all types of prose
makes use of these components, fiction one among them.
