As a matter of fact, I don't care one bit about authenticity. Who is accurate? Today, for example, no one. If a journalist writes that a beautiful twenty-two-year-old girl turned on the gas tap after staring at the sea for a long time and then kissed her labrador named Bob goodbye - and on the other hand it turns out that the girl was twenty-six years old, her room did not even look at the sea, and the dog was a terrier and named Bonnie, who would be upset by that?
