THE LIBRARY HAS MOVED its fiction. In keeping with recent developments in post-truth America, the Library’s nonfiction

books have been moved to a new collection renamed fake or true fiction, located where the old

fiction collection had been. The old fiction has also been completely replaced with a new name

called alternative nonfiction. So if you’re looking for a good science fiction story, for example,

it will now be in the new history-of-the-future section of the Library, but if you’re looking for a

textbook, they’re still in the save-yourself-some-money section.

Before there was fake news, there was old news

Historical news is not funny because it’s historical. In fact, it doesn’t need to be funny at all, just old.

Alternatively, funny news doesn’t need to be historical, although it could be. But in all alternative honesty,

historical news still wouldn’t need to be funny. In fact, alternatively, it just needs to be news even though there’s

nothing new about it.

The Library now has access to historical newspapers from the Pittsburgh Past-Gazette (1786-) and the

Philadelphia Inquirer (1860-). Newspapers with news when news was news and not something else.

“performed one of its

initial acts of public service

by printing the newly adopted Constitution of the United

States in 1787. ...The Post-Gazette went on to offer leading

coverage of the U.S. westward expansion into Ohio and the

Northwest Territory, the political unrest leading to the U.S.

Civil War, and the industrial revolution—from coal mining to

the rise of the steel industry. Andrew Carnegie. Henry Clay

Fricke. Andrew Mellon. H.J. Heinz. United States Steel Corp.

The Homestead Steel Strike. The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Carnegie-Mellon Library. And so much more.”

“known for its coverage of the

American Civil War that was

popular with readers on both sides; its published works by

Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe. ...From the … start of the

Civil War, to the assassination of civil rights advocate Octavius V.

Catto over the right for Blacks to vote; from the flu pandemic of

1918 that killed 12,000 Philly residents in one month — and

675,000 in all nationwide — to the debut of a local dance show,

American Bandstand in 1952, The Philadelphia Inquirer offers a

regional perspective of an exceptionally unique mix of historical

events as they unfolded.”

NOTHING IS TRUE

“Great

documentary

capturing the

heroism of the Ford

presidency. Two

small thumbs up.”

“1984 … That was a

good year. Van Halen

… Madonna …

Ghostbusters…

‘Mem’rees … like

they’re walled up in my

mind’”

O, Dear

“Can’t remember … is

fiction real or is it the made

up one? Who cares ... I like

the color.”

“I never judged a

book by its cover

until I read this one.

Hated it.”

EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED

Dedicated to Chuck Finley, real close friend of the Library

Charles Finley, aka Chuck, has read a great many fake, aka true fiction collections (that’s collections, not just books)

that are made up of real nonfiction, aka non-fake nonfiction books, and he has read a substantial number of fake

nonfiction collections as well, aka alternative nonfiction collections made up of made up fictions that have little to no

basis in real, non-fake nonfiction.
