[edit] Novel
(The following is moved from Talk:The Bridge at Andau/Comments. There is no reason for a talk subpage. Agent 86 04:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC))
The Bridge at Andau, by James A. Michener, is a historical narrative based on interviews with eye witnesses to the Hungarian uprising of 1956. The book is not a novel, even though some characters were reported as composites in order to protect the identities of the witnesses and their familes. I would submit, therefore, that the category for the book be changed to history. Marksmith0200 03:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)marksmith0200
- I changed the edits back to "novel". "Narrative report" links to nothing and is not a generally used term. If "novel" is not appropriate, "book" is a much better alternate term, or "non-fiction work", although the latter term is a bit pedantic. Agent 86 04:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
