Value

by Mike Driver

An author is murdered in the street, leaving the book he was writing arguably unfinished. Then a succesion of lies about him appear in the newapapers, vilifying his life. But does it really matter if they are lies? Isn't it an author's work of more significance than any day-to-day details of his life? Value, naturally enough, cannot answer this question; it is for you the reader to decide. But hasn't everyone who ever knew anything about what value actually is been lied about and vilified, whether by now they are dead or alive? And what is it that is really happening in a situation where a hotch-poch of lies has somehow become much more 'valuable' than anything reeking of the objective truth?
