Roman à Clef
A ''roman à clef'' ( ; ; ) is a novel about real-life events that is overlaid with a façade of fiction. The fictitious names in the novel represent real people and the "key" is the relationship between the non-fiction and the fiction. This metaphorical key may be produced separately—typically as an explicit guide to the text by the author—or implied, through the use of epigraphs or other literary techniques. Madeleine de Scudéry created the ''roman à clef'' in the 17th century to provide a forum for her thinly veiled fiction featuring political and public figures. An author might choose the ''roman à clef'' as a means of satire, of writing about controversial topics, reporting inside information on scandals without giving rise to charges of libel, the opportunity to turn the tale the way the author would like it to have gone, the opportunity to portray autobiographical experiences without having to expose the author as the subject, avoiding incrimination that could ...

Kejne Affair
The Kejne affair was a political affair in Sweden in the 1950s. In 1948, Karl-Erik Kejne (1913–60), a Swedish Lutheran pastor, publicly accused groups of gay men of threatening him and making attempts on his life. This occurred after he had tried to put an end to gay prostitution in Stockholm, Sweden. In March 1950, Kejne published a sensationalist article in the newspaper ''Dagens Nyheter'' claiming that the prostitution of underage boys was rampant in the working class districts of Stockholm, being patronised by wealthy and well connected gay men whom the police did not dare arrest. This theme was quickly picked up by several evening papers, and reached the proportions of a witch-hunt. There was widespread belief in Kejne's conspiracy theory about a "homosexual mafia", supposedly controlling several criminal gangs of gay men. When a commission was appointed to examine Kejne's allegations, he accused the commission of being infiltrated by the same "homosexual mafia", leadi ...
