Fiction or nonfiction?

Oprah's book club latest pick - Elie Wiesel's "Night" is frequently classified as a novel. Is it actually a memoir? Amazon changes the classification on its site.

In our library, too, not all narratives are in Fiction. Unfortunately for those just looking for a good story, whether true or not, the non-fiction narratives are in Non-Fiction by subject. Biographies and autobiographies are not collated, unlike in some public libraries.
