I'm not sure. It depends on various factors and how the story was presented. Sometimes stories are based on real events but might have some fictional elements added for entertainment.
For a newbie, 'The Crying of Lot 49' is interesting. It has a unique narrative that is set in LA and has a lot of elements that will make you think about the city in different ways. 'The Flamethrowers' is also good. It gives you a view of LA's art scene and the people in it. And 'Perfume River' can be a good choice as it shows different aspects of LA life, from family relationships to the impact of war on the people living there.
La Casa de Papel is completely fictional. The plot, characters, and situations were all crafted by the writers for entertainment purposes. There's no real-life basis for it.
Definitely not. 'La Casa de Papel' is purely fictional. The writers came up with the thrilling storyline and characters from their imagination to entertain the audience.
Not all of it is based on true stories. It's a mix of fictional elements and possible inspirations from real-life incidents, but it's not a straightforward documentation of actual events.
