Best answer:
Answer by Abel P
When you are a writer, if you want to make your stories funny, you must have suffered through sorrow. This is how Harry Potter has its laugh-out-loud moments.
Fiction is a way to convey truth about human nature, and is much more full of truth than history books. History is FACTS, not TRUTH. Therefore, the phrase, "Truth is stranger than fiction," makes no sense taken at face value.
