A Second Life Inside My Novels

Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

The novel is mainly about the forgotten British poet/writer named C. J Richards who lived in Burma/Myanmar in colonial times and he believed himself as a Burmophile. He served as I.C.S (Indian Civil Servant) and when he retired from I.C.S service, he was a D.C (District Commissioner) and he left for England a year before Burma gained its independence in 1948. He came to Burma in 1920 to work in civil service after passing the hardest I.C.S examination. He wrote several books on Burma and contributed many monthly articles to Guardian Magazine published in Burma from 1953 to 1974 or 1975. Though he wrote several books which had much literary merit to both communities, Britain and Burma (Myanmar), people failed to recognize him. The story has two parts: one part is set in the contemporary Yangon (then called Rangoon) in 2016 context and a young literary enthusiast named “Lin” found out unexpectedly the forgotten writer’s poetry book and there is surely a good deal of time gap that led him into a quest to know more about the author’s life. The setting is quite different comparing to colonial Burma and independence Myanmar (Burma), early twentieth century and 2016 which is a transitional period in Myanmar. The writer’s life is fictionalized in the novel and most of the facts are taken from his personal stories and other reference books. It is a kind of historical novel with a twist and it has comparatively constructed the two different periods in Myanmar history to convince readers, locally and abroad more about history, authorship, humanity, colonialism, and transitional development in Myanmar today.

What is the difference between fiction and non fiction novels?

the distinction between fiction and non-fiction is something I think about often. Fiction novels are all about imagination—worlds built from scratch, characters who feel real but aren’t, and stories that transport you somewhere magical or terrifying. Take 'The Lord of the Rings' or 'Harry Potter'; they’re pure escapism, crafted to make you feel emotions deeply without being tied to reality.

Non-fiction, on the other hand, grounds you in facts, history, or real-life experiences. Memoirs like 'Educated' by Tara Westover or investigative works like 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari educate and challenge your perspective. While fiction lets you dream, non-fiction often makes you reflect. Both have their charm, but the key difference is one is rooted in truth, the other in creativity.

Fiction and nonfiction are like two sides of the same coin, but they couldn't be more different in flavor. Fiction is where imagination runs wild—authors build entire worlds, invent characters, and craft plots that might never happen in real life. Think of 'The Lord of the Rings' or 'Harry Potter'; these stories thrive on creativity, not facts. Nonfiction, on the other hand, is grounded in reality. It’s about real events, people, and ideas, like biographies, history books, or self-help guides. The joy of fiction lies in escapism, while nonfiction often educates or informs.

That said, the lines blur sometimes. Creative nonfiction, like 'In Cold Blood', uses storytelling techniques to make real events read like a novel. And some fiction, like historical novels, leans heavily on research to feel authentic. Personally, I love both—fiction for the adventure, nonfiction for the 'aha!' moments. It’s like choosing between a rollercoaster ride or a documentary; both are thrilling in their own way.

what is a fiction book and how does it differ from nonfiction?

Growing up with a stack of battered paperbacks, I learned to tell a made-up world from a factual one pretty early. To me, a fiction book is any story where the author invents characters, events, or settings primarily to entertain, explore ideas, or provoke emotion. That includes everything from cozy mysteries to sprawling fantasy epics like 'The Lord of the Rings' and realist novels like 'Pride and Prejudice'. The core is imagination — the writer constructs a narrative that didn't literally happen but can feel emotionally true.

Nonfiction, on the other hand, aims at conveying facts, analysis, or lived experience. Books like 'Sapiens' or memoirs are rooted in research, eyewitness detail, or verifiable data. The writer's obligation is different: accuracy and sourcing matter more. Of course, there's overlap; narrative nonfiction borrows storytelling tools from fiction, and literary fiction can illuminate truths about human behavior. Still, when I pick a fiction book I expect to be transported, whereas with nonfiction I'm often seeking insight, explanation, or knowledge. Both satisfy me, just in different ways — fiction feeds the imagination, nonfiction feeds the curiosity, and that's why I read both depending on my mood.

How do fiction and non fiction books differ in storytelling?

I’ve noticed fiction and nonfiction differ in storytelling like night and day. Fiction thrives on imagination, crafting worlds and characters that feel real but aren’t bound by facts. Take 'The Lord of the Rings'—it’s a masterpiece of invented lore, where the rules of Middle-earth are whatever Tolkien dreamed up. Nonfiction, like 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari, is tethered to reality, dissecting truths and presenting them in a compelling way.

Fiction often prioritizes emotional arcs and thematic depth, while nonfiction focuses on clarity, evidence, and real-world impact. A novel like 'The Great Gatsby' layers symbolism and personal drama, whereas a biography like 'Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson digs into documented events and interviews. The beauty of fiction lies in its freedom to explore 'what if,' while nonfiction demands rigor and accuracy. Both can be equally gripping, but their tools—creation versus curation—are fundamentally different.

What does fiction mean vs nonfiction?

Fiction is like this magical playground where anything can happen—dragons soar, spaceships warp across galaxies, and talking cats solve mysteries. It’s all made up, but that’s the beauty of it; the author’s imagination is the only limit. I love how 'The Lord of the Rings' builds entire languages and histories, or how 'Haruki Murakami’s' worlds blend the mundane with the surreal. Nonfiction, though? That’s grounded in reality—biographies, science journals, or even cookbooks. It’s about facts, even if the storytelling can be just as gripping. 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari reads like an epic, but it’s rooted in human history.

What fascinates me is how fiction often reveals deeper truths about life through lies, while nonfiction sometimes feels stranger than fantasy. Ever read about quantum physics? That’s as wild as any sci-fi! The line blurs sometimes, like in memoirs where memory plays tricks, or historical fiction that fills gaps with creativity. Both genres feed my curiosity in different ways—one sparks daydreams, the other satisfies the itch to learn.
