Oprah's Book Club Turns to Elie Wiesel

Sounds like an interesting choice. I usually enjoy the books she chooses.

Another Oprah Winfrey book club pick has raised the issue of fact versus fiction.

Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble said Tuesday they were making changes to certify Elie Wiesel's "Night" as non-fiction. Barnes & Noble is removing the book from its fiction list, and Amazon is changing the categorization of "Night" and revising a description to make clear it does not consider the book a novel.

Which is curious, considering that Night (and the other books in that trilogy) has always been considered a novel, albeit one rooted in Wiesel's autobiography. The waters seem to be becoming murky again...
