Now, if I were to think that my ggggrandfather were fictional, that would constitute quite a belief, methinks.

Maybe someone should write the quintessential, epic, metafictional chronicle of a people from the pov of someone who believes their ancestors are entirely mythological... then someone comes along and pronounces the whole thing a sham... it was real all along! For that I suppose we'd need someone like Italo Calvino or maybe one of the dead absurdist surreal existentialists.

Could be just as fun, though... Maybe it could be titled: "Gone with the Whirlwind."
