Is the book properly called an "autobiographical novel"? or rather a "memoir"?[edit]
The current version of the article [1] refers to the work as an "autobiographical novel" (in lede), as a "nonfiction novel" (in infobox), and as a novel simpliciter (in categories, e.g. Category:Novels set in Israel). But (at least in English-language markets), the book is marketed as a memoir, not as an autobiographical novel (or a "novel" of any sort). Are there any sources for referring to this work as a novel? If the preponderance of reliable sources consider the book to be a memoir, then Wikpedia should categorize it as non-fiction. Mathew5000 (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Could we please have an answer to this question? It is now three and a half years. Someone must have written the article and so be in a position to defend their wording. Thank you. Anthony Atkinson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.241.89 (talk) 19:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
