Fact and fiction

Lapata says in Particularities of Partition II "But fiction does not fill the gaps in the historical record, good historiography does."

Chandra Latha says in ఇనుప గజ్జెల తల్లి 3 "Let us now examine the realistic nature of these discourses.
We understand that in fiction , it is not possible to narrate the reality as in formal or scientific language The language used in the narrative is not transparent that can carry a single meaning , as compare to that of scientific discourse. In the other words, language used in reality fiction is not neutral but polyphonic. This plurality helps both writer and the reader for whom language is more than ‘just a medium of thought’ .
Story is art of fiction .Art of narration.
Can the reality fiction over come the hyperbole of the creativity? Can transparent language make fiction into reality ? Can we agree that the narrative , with usage of plural, complex and aesthetic language or simply ,literary language ,be classified as reality fiction ?
This has been discussed in detail by literary critics.
” It does not mean the all writing is absolutely transparent, but rather that the narration , the dominant discourse , is able to establish itself as a truth .The narration does not appear to be the voice of an author ,its source appears to be a true reality which speaks.”" And much more.

Whatever Historiography is, as a layman, I would like to get some feel in a limited amount of time for what happened as a guide to what might happen, and perhaps as a guide to action. Possibly academic studies, with their emphasis on clear meanings, categorization, reduction etc loose some of the power that language shows in fiction. The story Mahesh by Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, conveys so much about the practices of caste, religion,about drought and the existing extractive systems during certain period in parts of India which seems to be to be difficult to covey in any academic study of similar length. Of course then the problem is to recognize such fiction. It is possible that these days very few read this story of Sarat.
