you're the one that's been posting this in all of the wiesel threads, right?
can you give one example of him lying about anything
night was clearly seen and intended as a fiction, based on a completely genuine experience in the holocaust

>Reviewers have had difficulty reading Night as an eyewitness account. It has been categorized as a novel, autobiography, autobiographical novel, non-fictional novel, semi-fictional memoir, fictional-autobiographical novel, fictionalized autobiographical memoir and memoir-novel. . .Wiesel called it his deposition

So it's fiction being presented as memoir. Wiesel won't come right out and say it, which is what bothers me. Millions of people have taken this book as objective fact.

For example on Goodreads it's listed as non-fiction and compared to the Diary of Anne Frank

Not that guy btw.
>>
>>8245229
lmao
>>
>>8245279
Pretty sure when it first came out it was seen as a work of fiction.
>>
>>8245279
Wiesel never claimed it is non-fiction, I believe, making him not a liar
>>
>>8245286

On amazon.com it's described as "an autobiographical account" and a "seminal memoir" At no point does the blurb mention that it's fiction. The average reader is not going to realize that he or she is reading a fictionalized memoir. It's dishonest, and Wiesel should own up. But of course, nobody wants to read a boring old novel, they want the REAL story.
>>
>>8245294
There's not claiming it's non-fiction, and there's standing there in the middle of crowds and editors who proclaim that it is, finding oneself pleased with the perhaps unexpected fact, and eluding any direct questions, as seems to be the case. Two different attitudes, but not all too different when it comes to dishonesty.

Okay, listen up.

Night is a weird fucking book, because it's the novelized version of a now-lost memoir Elie Wiesel wrote a decade after the Holocaust. He was frustrated by the unwillingness of most Jews to discuss their own experiences, and on an ocean voyage from France to Brazil he managed to write an 800 page memoir, which included within it angry essays about the perceived betrayal of Jews by non-Jews and then of Jews by themselves.

Noting his knack for writing, French publishers wanted to try to sell it. Friends of Wiesel helped him restructure the memoir into a novel, combining his experiences with stories he'd heard while in the camps, and fabricating dialogue for narrative effect. However, the publishers insisted it should be still sold as a memoir.

>>8245948
It has been called the greatest novel of all times and is pretty fucking long.

>>8245991
this, pretty much.
