It's a collection of Nietzsche's notes stitched together and published posthumously.

You could say it's "not canon", though it is studied, kind of like On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense.

No one considers it a forgery, it's in Nietzsche's handwriting. Part was forged, but that isn't published with it, that was only in the Naziboo editions. The edition in the OP is strictly Nietzsche, no forgery.

Should be considered in context of what he actually deemed worth publishing.
