Abstract
A whole series of preliminary remarks would be necessary to explain how broad the question of experiment and fiction is and how little of it can be covered in this essay. Instead, I prefer to accept the fragmentary and somewhat incomplete nature of this text which — compared to the vast field of research it opens — can only have an introductory status.
