The library this book came from gave it the
Dewey Decimal code 823.9, which classifies it as “English Fiction”. Would you classify a book critically examining Golden Age Mysteries (and Christie’s work in particular) as fiction? It seems like Dewey Decimal code 809 (“Literary history & criticism”) would be more accurate. Also, would you shelve this book under fiction or nonfiction?
