Task 5.6 re "Some readers have shelved this as fiction, but it is a play and therefore nonfiction. At my library the call number is 812.6 DOE"
We have never used Dewey classifications alone to determine any category. Short story collections are 813.08 and foreign language fiction is classified in the 820-890's ex. German fiction is classified as 833. William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back is not a work of nonfiction

I've actually wondered about it before since Shakespeare is always in the 800s. He's fiction too then? It would make sense to me.
