Dilemma

Browsing a bookshelf full of miscellaneous social, political and historical works, doing some reshelving as I browsed, I came across my old copy of The Right to Privacy by Caroline Kennedy and Ellen Alderman, shelved next to their companion volume, In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action.
This dilemma sprang immediately to my mind...

Should I shelve them with
  • history, or
  • fiction?

    Either option would be a good: just do not separate them!
    How did the world get there??

      Enfant, how the world got here is simple; how it will get away from here is another matter!

    That's why libraries and bookstores have a genre called "Historical Fiction".

      Constance, that's also why politicians have a genre called "Fictionalized History." If it wasn't good enough in reality, tweak the reality a bit...
