Fictalism

Being a fan of Mark Twain and Dan DeQuille and their journalism style, called “Quaints,” I decided to update the style (for myself) as I continue to write at Substack. And so, may I present Fictalism (n.) – A literary approach that blends fiction and journalism, using narrative techniques traditionally found in storytelling—such as character development, dialogue, and immersive scene-setting—to explore real-world events. While grounded in factual accuracy, Fictalism allows for creative structuring and perspective shifts to provide deeper emotional and thematic insights, enhancing the reader’s understanding of complex truths.
