Quote by Philip Roth
I write fiction and I'm told it's autobiography, I write autobiography and I'm told it's fiction, so since I'm so dim and they're so smart, let them decide what it is or it isn't.
Summary

They express frustration at the arbitrary nature of these classifications and suggest that it is best to let others decide how to label their writing, rather than getting caught up in the subjective interpretations of what it is or isn't.
