The Greatest
Stories Almost Never
Told
by Alex Andy Phuong
Miramax
released the film Shakespeare in Love with
the tagline, “A film about the greatest love
story almost never told.”
That brings up interesting ideas about the art of
fiction. Modern readers might not know
about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy if Jane Austen had
not written about their whirlwind romance.
The world might not have Madame Bovary as an
eponymous character if Gustave Flaubert had not
created such a dirty skank. Such notions
reveal the power of imagination. Even
Albert Einstein knew this because he advocates
creativity even though he had one of the most
brilliant minds in history. Write, live,
create! Seize the day! Carpe Diem!
*And
that also includes stories for mature audiences,
like Fifty Shades of Grey!*
