The 100 Best Books in the English Language
EGP550
Makroum’s point of view is that this distinction stems from the way books are organized in libraries. If we enter a library, we will most likely find the classification divided into two main sections: Fiction (works of fiction) and Nonfiction (non-fiction works). But does this mean that short stories should be placed together with novels? And why did Makroum not include his short story recommendations in the novels list or create a separate list for them? In fact, Makroum himself acknowledges that he exercised a certain degree of arbitrariness, both in establishing the criteria for the two lists and in selecting the works included in each. He openly admits this in both books.
