Fiction is a work of the imagination or invention, which contrasts with non-fiction (which is usually thought to be based on facts). Written works like novels, short stories, plays, and poems are fictional. A work of fiction is a work of literature, but the term literature encompasses far more than just fiction. Literature also refers to non-fiction (memoirs, biography, and other works that are factual in scope).
