fiction is the truth and non-fiction is usually a lie. non-fiction is usually trying to convince you of something by leaving things out, by saying things which are half true or not true, by stacking the deck. you know, books of history, books of philosophy, books of biography. you read these books and you read--and you--like you--you knew this person. you say--you know this isn't true, you know, but it's non-fiction. it--it pretends it's the truth. i would like to--hopefully in--in--in "workin' on the chain gang," i've written a book that is as true as it can be. it means to say i speculate, i ask questions, i wonder. i make suggestions which i say may or may not work. that's the--the highest form of non-fiction i can imagine. i'd like to write a couple more books like that. c-span: speaking of the mirror, when you stand in front of a all-black audience and talk about the book--or any of your books--and in front of an all-white audience and talk about your books, what do you see different? >> guest: well, you know, it's interesting 'cause

>> that is fiction. the reason that's fiction is because we already know that we are projected out, total healthcare costs according to the center for medicare and medicaid services it will be over $4 trillion in 10 years. it is over 3 trillion now. it used to be 256 billion in 1980. it is continuing to rise despite obama care. it is not controlling costs. how can it when you consider our insurance policies are front loaded to cover all preventative services you don't have deductibles you don't have co-pays there's no brakes on the system everybody is using more and more healthcare. it's expensive. >> the congressional budget office says it will be twice as much as the original price tag. >> it is an out of control situation. all of these regulations may bring down the costs a little but the overall problem has not been addressed. second question for you fact or fiction if you get to obama care is not a socialized medicine. there's been a lot of confusion with this one. >> i would sthais a fact. i would

i love regular fiction but when i'm writing the science fiction and fantasy holds my attention better. >> stop. you are not going there. what about jared? >> he kissed her i kiss her. it's a cave community. >> it sounds more racy than it actually is. >> i just want to try one thing. >> reporter: meyer's stories bridge the gap between teen and adult fiction reminding us what it was like to fight the urges brought on by raging teenaged hormones. >> there is a great deal of sexual tension in your stories and most of it is unconsummated and tame. >> i think there is something magical about taking your time with physical attraction. if you make it so that every time someone brushes someone's hand. remember when you were 14 and that was a big deal. you know we skip over that a lot. >> reporter: how do you channel the 16-year-old girl in all of us? >> i don't think you ever lose the 16-year-old girl. apparently it's not so different that i'm not still a little in touch with that girl. >> reporter: meyer is an unlikely publishing phenom. the twilight installment was her first attempt at writi

fiction. >> if you -- he won a nobel prize for literature, what did he get it for? his whole body of work? >> pretty much so. he won it in 1962 a couple months after "travels with charley" came out. i guess it just came out recently he was sort of, ok, we do not have anybody else worthy this year, we will give it to him. they had a bunch of people and they all -- the woman who wrote "out of africa" was one of the finalists. they gave it to steinbeck. they just release the notes from the nobel committee. he was sort of not a second choice but a, ok, we will give it to some guy. for his body of work. "travels with charley" was a big commercial success of the time. they did mention that in a release about the award. he had written "the winter of our discontent." >> let's look at john steinbeck in 1962 as he accepts the award. [applause] >> it is customary for the recipient of this award to offer on the nature and direction of literature. in this particular time, however, i think it would be good for us to consider the responsibilities of the makers of literature. such

obviously a fictional cartoon character. but when you see a real bear showing off some martial arts moves, well, that's a recipe for millions of hits and a lot of people scratching their heads and saying, there's just no way. this video starts out like any other shot by a tourist visiting the zoo. but it quickly turns into a scene from "crouching tiger, hidden black bear?" ♪ >> it's, like, always on the verge of going out of control. and not once does the bear hit himself in the face. like that's really impressive. >> i love this one. the kind that you watch it and even if you're by yourself at the computer, you start giggling but you can't stop yourself. >> no one's heard of the teenager mutant ninja bears. is this the work of a talented visual effects artist? or is this black bear channeling the ghost of bruce lee? >> it does look really fake. so much dexterity. >> when animals do something that looks human, we're just taken aback by it. we think how the hell did it do that? it's crazy. >> i was waiting to find out what

for me is that is certainly true of biography but it's also true of fiction. i want to give a single example from dostoevsky's and it's from a chapter called rebellion, which comes right before the grand inquisitor. i have in the oldest brother is giving ali ocean his views on the christian idea that there is an all-powerful all-knowing benevolent god and that things will all ultimately work out for the best. ivan makes his argument from stories and this is one of them. there was in those days the general of aristocratic connections, the owner of great estates. our general on his property of 2000 souls dominators over his poor neighbors as though they were dependents and buffoons. he has camels of hundreds of pounds and nearly 100 dog toys all mounted in uniform. i am sorry to put us all through this on a sunday morning, a beautiful day in key west. i really am.

they are decisions by people who write historical fiction or fiction to focus our attention in ways that are dramatic. if we want to get the exact history of the debate in congress we could read the congressional record nor do we think he was visited by an angel. question is when you are an artist and decide to dramatize a historical event you are borrowing trouble because if i write a play about completely made up people i can have them do anything i want and no one can say they didn't do that because they did not exist. when i say i am going to dramatize during a lame-duck session of congress for the thirteenth amendment five asking for trouble and away, this happened. you can't change what happened but you unchanged what happens on the way to what happened by which i mean you can say did this happen, it is historical, did it happen exactly this way? if the answer is yes it is history. if the answer is yes happened but not exactly this way it is historical fiction. it is grounded in history. the overarching story it tells has to be true. you can't say lincoln did this thing and got it

ryan's latest work of ayn rand fan fiction would balance the budget, producing a small surplus in just ten years. a goal achieved with cuts of $4.6 trillion. but also by the addition of some new revenue. courtesy of the president. yes, those tax increases that the president fought for and won as part of the fiscal cliff deal, mr. ryan's going to keep those. i mean, why not? >> we're not going to refight the past. law is law. we know that that's not going to change. especially with respect to these issues. >> the past is the past. the law is the law. except when it comes to the affordable care act because much of mr. ryan's pie in the sky proposal is based squarely, get this, on the repeal of obama care. >> we don't like this law. this is why we're proposing to repeal this law in our budget. more importantly, we believe that this law is going to collapse under its own weight. this, to us, is something we're not going to give up on because we're not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the american people. >> oh, dear. it seems mr. ryan may have misspoke or did he? a

it's a fiction. in that book and in the movie, the idea is a he was inspired by his maid to paint this picture and she's actually the model who possess for the girl with the pearl earrings. people would say, i'm here to see the portrait where do i find it. they said we don't have it. what are they talking about and they took this literally and this was the maid. not true. it's one of those romantic stories, but just make the mystery more interesting but not a specific portrait of a person. there is a question on the aisle here? the question about whether the girl with the pearl earring was commissioned and the answer is we don't know. it did come out of rembrandt studio and another layer to the mystery in the story is we didn't know where she was for about 200 years. she resurfaces at an auction where the historian realizes this was a pretty good picture and decided they wouldn't bid against each other. it sold for 2 guilders and which is basically a dollar. the painting was yellow with age but still
