The relationship between the literary imagination, literary
possibilities, and actual reality poses a major philosophical
problem in the field of the metaphysics of literature. This
detailed analysis of some literary masterpieces, by Proust, Kafka,
Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Thomas Mann, Virginia Woolf, and William
Faulkner, demonstrates that actual reality actualizes or "imitates"
literary pure possibilities. As such, these masterpieces should be
treated not as romans a clef, but, instead, as paradigm-cases on
whose basis we grasp and understand actual reality.
