Political fiction

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I love to read fiction and often find myself thinking of its real world connections and reflections. Political fiction combines this interest with the political focus of my class. Political fiction is an important mode of commenting on the political processes of the systems in place and can serve to plant questions or spark thought on these systems. It seems like a fairly flushed out page including details from distinct eras though lacking in inclusion of non-western and female written stories.

Everything in the article is relevant to the topic and the information is mostly up to day though the '21st century novel' section is much shorter and could use some more details. While there are examples of political fiction provided from multiple countries, they are very centered in the northwest and there is a lack of inclusion of literature written by women. More details on the impacts rather than just the presence of political fiction would be useful along with a more detailed analysis of key aspects and the pros and cons of using fiction writing as a mode of delivering political ideas. The tone is neutral.

Not all of the citations work. The very first citation is faulty although many others work well and are from reliable sources (NPR). There are many sources from a diverse array of authors and publications.

In the Talk page, many users are requesting additions of genres and books that the page lacks. I agree with its rating of 'start-class' as it seems like a good starting point but definitely lacks information. The term 'political fiction' is quite broad and requires much investigation and detailing.
