Why do these authors keep messing with our minds?!
What is real, and what isn't?
Gilles and More are actual people, but Raphael Nosenso is fictional. They talk about the imaginary place of Utopia, even in the preface "psuedo-letters," as though it's real.
It was hard to remind myself that this place was fake, made-up, when people I knew to be real were talking about it as though it was an actual place to be found. The more I read, the less sure I am of my pre-conceived notions of the book, Renaissance England, and even my own beliefs.
Bah. Can't we just go back to the Bernstein Bears - one simple moral at the end of every story!
