The end of the current millennium has proven to be a time rich not only in questions but in questions about how to frame the right questions. Recent theorizing about fiction is no exception. Questions about how best to investigate fiction-its nature and scope, its relation to nonfictional discourse, its ontological structure, its illocutionary markers, and its cultural functions in a world where virtuality reigns supreme, as metaphor, technology, and fashion statementcontinue to exercise philosophers and literary theorists, discourse analysts and narratologists, and classicists and art historians. Marie-Laure Ryan (1997), for one, has argued that many theorists of postmodernism either explicitly or implicitly commit themselves to a doctrine of panfictionality. This doctrine obliterates the traditional and commonsensical distinction between fiction and nonfiction
