    “My point of view is that a novel cannot have inaccuracies because it’s all made up to begin with” is a bizarre, inconsistent and somewhat pitiful defence of a novel about a factual event.https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/can-a-work-of-fiction-about-the-holocaust-be-inaccurate-1.4135015 …

        In 2015 Boyne claimed in an interview that he drew on the memoirs of a Nazi war criminal (Rudolf Höss) to improve the historical accuracy of his first drafts. Thus admitting it was a work based on his historical research and understanding. https://www.whatsonlive.co.uk/shropshire/interviews/john-boyne-talks-about-the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas/3133 …pic.twitter.com/SNYjK1E3gF

        Pro-tip: if the cover art and title of your book directly refers to the uniform the Nazis made their victims wear in the camps, the “it’s just a fairy tale” defence is not going to work.

        Excellent and helpful contribution by @HelenCFinch in that @PatrickFreyne1 piece: “Writers can write what they want, but in my view, you have to reflect on your positionality and on the accuracy of what you’re writing.”

        All writers have a responsibility to the past. Boyne: “I wrote the entire first draft of ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ in two and a half days. I barely slept...as I was writing it I thought just keep going and don’t think about it too much.” (2005)

        All writers have a responsibility to the present. Cummins: “And in the end, I was like, fuck everybody else. I mean really, that’s where I ended up, I was like, I don’t really care what other people think of it.” https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/jeanine-cummins-i-didn-t-know-if-i-had-the-right-to-tell-the-story-1.4138464 … Barbed Wire Nail Art as marketing devicepic.twitter.com/HCvlcTnqGl

        Yeah that's just exploiting misery without showing any regard for the memory of the people whose deaths you're profiting from.

        John Boyne's point of view is that he's never made a mistake in his life. Ever.

        Except that one time where he thought he'd made a mistake, but actually he was right all along.
