Liliputins
___________
Liliputins ( derived from adjective "lilliputian" which means "very small in size" but in my case not necessarily "trivial "and idiom "to put words in sb.' mouth" in short ) are a brand- new cutting edge direction in modern postmodernistic fiction of mockery, ridicule, sarcasm and derision solely created, coined and penned by me. Based on Soren Kierkegaard's idea that life could be only understood backwards. I’m deliberatly, willfully and literally putting in the mouths of the great characters in history and fictional protagonists ( stock characters) of all epoques and countries dead or alive the made-up words or real ( or twisted) quotations , which they never have said, but might have. To make a long story short, liliputins are my own mostly revisionistic and anachronistic creations in form of intencially produced misquotations or counterfeit one line aphorisms, maxims, mini tales, jokes or quips with some degree of truth in it, which I attribute ( misattribute ) to others in order to make a point. It is completely up to the readers’s level of knowledge, intelligence and believes to sort out truth from fiction. Liliputins compresse time and allow to put on the collision course the present and the past, the alive and the dead, things and humans, dead serious and ridicule, real and made up. Liliputins are also a suitable vehicle for the would be time travelers and alternative history lovers. Liliputins are contemporary, old fashioned, satiric, ironic, thought- provoking, mind-boggling, hilarious, sad, mean, kind, shocking, outrageous, flattering, highly controversial, but never boring and always eye-opening and short as the life itself. Mrs. Erma Bombeck said once “There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.”
I sincerely hope I did not overstep this thin line in my book.
Sorry for unintended contempt and pain I might cause.
Oscar Wilde once said " If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
So please don't kill the mocking bird !
