- A Contemporary Novel " creates imaginary characters and situations that depict our world and society. It focuses on themes of growing up and confronting personal and social problems.

i'm missing the facts, scientific branches and so on books, i think. and where is a recipe book? where are ghost stories? sci fi, cannibalism or fashion?
