Dear Hasafranim, Our library recently received Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers and I've had a heck of a time figuring out where to classify it. (By the way, we use Dewey, but this could be a question for all systems.)
LC suggests placing it in graphic novels in the arts section (741.5973), but I feel it would be buried there. One librarian I know placed it in current American history (973.931), and I considered that, but No Towers feels more like an opinion piece. I considered essays in American literature (814) but there was not enough text. Finally I settled on miscellaneous writings in American lit. (818), but I'm still unsure. What have other catalogers done for this?
