Is truth stranger than fiction? - Hurtigt spørgsmål

Hej,

I behøver IKKE at have læst følgende tekst før: Lion Goodman – A shot in the light

men det kræver dog, at I læser dette relativt korte uddrag, som ikke er skrevet af mig, før I kan besvare mit spørgsmål:

"   Goodman's narrative revolves around the 24 hours or so during which he was shot four times in the head by a man he had picked up hitchhiking, how he struggled to accept his fate while simultaneously trying to sustain his life, and the dialogue he was eventually able to arouse between himself and his attacker, a man named Ray. Through the recounting of this bizarre conversation--during which Goodman attempts both to calm Ray and convince him to head toward a hospital--we learn more biographical information about Ray himself than we ever learn about Goodman: his upbringing in East L.A., his alcoholic and abusive father, his stint in the army, his drug dealing, time spent in jail, the events leading up to his decision to rob and kill Goodman. This story sheds light, in its generosity and through personal experience, on the whole cycle of human oppression and criminal behavior better than any statistic or media analysis possibly could. And what fiction writer would dare name a character who survived such an ordeal Lion Goodman? Is truth stranger than fiction? Of course it is.    "

Hvis vi lægger mærke til de sidste 3 sætninger:

And what fiction writer would dare name a character who survived such an ordeal Lion Goodman? Is truth stranger than fiction? Of course it is.

Hvad betyder dette? Jeg synes ikke den kommentar giver mening, da Lion Goodman er forfatteren (?). Siger denne kommentar, at det er en falsk historie eller hvad?

Tak :)
