Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Virginia
Libel
I have written a soon to be published novel based on my affair with a married man. The novel is fiction though based on actual events. Can I be sued, by the persons ''potrayed'' in the novel?

Such so-called romans a clef have a long literary tradition, and, therefore, I would think not.
