We read The Princess Bride by William Goldman in my book club, and my world was turned upside-down


Did you know that S. Morgenstern's version of The Princess Bride which Goldman claims he abridged is made up? He writes the book as if he did not come up with the book and merely cut out the "good parts" from Morgenstern's version. He makes up a whole fake family for himself in the book and writes as if the story is true. This ruse is so in depth it is mind boggling, and I have to just praise Goldman for making something so complex.
