I love the idea behind it. Non-fiction is, of course, factually more truthful than fiction. But non-fiction does not address nor can it accommodate the richness of the impressionistic spirit of the human experience. Fiction has within itself the potential to go so much deeper than non-fiction.
I've read a lot of non-fiction, and I always see quite a disparity, whether its about an historical figure, or an event... Even if everything is 100% accurate, people pick and choose what they want read, and what to omit.
I've always read a great quote that "Biography is history"
