I thought that Crying in H Mart was fiction, but then, watching a lot of interviews of Michelle Zauner, I found out that it's a memoir. It's non-fiction.
There isn't as much of a clear distinction between fiction and non-fiction any more. It's understood that recounting history or actual events involves story-telling, and that people can have very different interpretations, not just of texts but of the realities those texts are based on.
Non-fiction involves stories and fiction is the best way of expressing some truths.
