FICTION_ is a general term used to describe an imaginative work of prose, either a novel, short story, or novella.

Recently, this definition has been modified to include both nonfiction works that contain imaginative elements, like
Midnight in the Garden Of Good and Evil by John Berendt (Random House, 1994) and Dutch by Edmund Morris
(Random House, 1999), and novels consisting largely of factual reporting with a patina of fictionalization, such as
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (Knopf, 1997). However, in the truest sense, a work of fiction is a creation of
the writer's imagination.
THE TWO TYPES OF FCTON
1. Commercial fiction attracts a broad audience and may also fall into any subgenre, like mystery, romance, legal
thriller, western, science fiction, and so on.
2. Literary fiction tends to appeal to a smaller, more intellectually adventurous audience. A work of literary fiction can
fall into any of the subgenres described in the following sections.
431.943* (or 3431.943) is the Iorm oI any narrative, account, or other communicative work
whose assertions and descriptions are understood to be Iact. This presentation may be accurate or
notthat is, it can give either a true or a Ialse account oI the subject in questionhowever, it is
generally assumed that authors oI such accounts believe them to be truthIul at the time oI their
composition or, at least, pose them to their audience as historically or empirically true. Note that
reporting the belieIs oI others in a non-Iiction Iormat is not necessarily an endorsement oI the
ultimate veracity oI those belieIs, it is simply saying it is true that people believe them (Ior such
topics as mythology, religion). Non-Iiction can also be written about Iiction, giving inIormation
about these other works.
Non-Iiction is one oI the two main divisions in writing, particularly used in libraries, the other
Iorm being Iiction. However, non-Iiction need not be written text necessarily, since pictures and
Iilm can also purport to present a Iactual account oI a subject.
