Interesting fictional exploration of the boundaries between fact and fiction. The narrator, a writing teacher, witnesses an accident which he thinks he might have prevented, and becomes obsessed with the victim and her life. Did this really happen, or is he simply using an effective example for his students? His psychological--or real?--journey offers a compelling story.
