What is Credibility?  Credibility means “believability.”  It’s how well a reader can believe what an author is writing.  In non-fiction works, it is important that the author is “credible” in what he writes.

 

Factors that affect credibility:

1.    How long ago the events happened.  Does the author remember everything exactly as it happened?

2.    What did the author add to his piece to make up for what he forgot?

 

What is faction?  It is a new term that many critics have been using.  Many authors of non-fiction add details to their works that may not be completely true.  They may do this because they do not completely remember all the details, or they may just want to make their work more interesting to readers.

Night:  Fact or Faction

     Elie Wiesel entered the gates of Auschwitz in 1944, near the end of WWII.  He was later liberated by the americans in 1945 at the age of 16.  He moved to Paris, after the war and began writing. In 1954, he had 862 pages of writing in Yiddish.  50 years later the book has been translated into 30 languages, and now is only 115 pages. It remains unclear how much of Night is memoir. Wiesel has called it his deposition, “but scholars have had difficulty approaching it as an unvarnished account”. (Amazon).
