Why do authors continue to put ” : A Novel” at the end of all their book titles?

As in, “Lisa’s Story: A Novel.”

No one is confused. We know that it’s a novel.

Today I watched a special needs kid get beaten up. Because he’s black.

He didn’t fight back. He wasn’t even going to report it.

lefigaro-photos: Mahatma. Si ce jeune Indien n’arbore pas une fausse moustache comme ses autres camarades, la fine paire de lunettes dorées suffit à donner la ressemblance avec le Mahatma Gandhi. Dimanche dernier, c’est quelque 500 enfants issus des castes inférieures qui se sont habillés comme celui que l’on surnommait Le Père de la Nation indienne, assassiné par un nationaliste hindou le 30 janvier 1948. Philosophe, avocat mais aussi politicien, Gandhi est toujours considéré comme l’une des icônes de la lutte pour les droits civiques. Inspirés par ses idées, des hommes et des femmes ont perpétué son combat, comme Martin Luther King aux Etats-Unis ou Nelson Mandela en Afrique du Sud. (AFP) The littlest Gandhi. Ok, he doesn’t have the mustache. But it is easy enough to see that this young Indian is the spitting image of Mahatma Gandhi. Last Sunday, 500 Indian children from the lowest caste dressed up like the infamous civil rights leader to mark the anniversary of his assasination in 1948. A philosopher, lawyer and politician, Gandhi is considered an icon of the non-violent fight for civil rights and inspired such leaders as Martin Luther King in the United States and Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
