In her first book club pick since allegations that some parts of her last selection _ a memoir of addiction _ were fabricated, TV talk show host &to=http://english.pravda.ru/usa/2001/12/05/22960.html' target=_blank>Oprah Winfrey chose a novel so close to the truth that the author calls it a memoir.
Winfrey announced during her television show Monday that Novel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel's autobiographical novel "Night" was her newest book club pick.
"Like Dr. King I have a dream of my own, too, that the powerful message of this little book would be engraved on every human heart and will never be forgotten again," Winfrey said. "That you who read this book will feel as I do that these 120 pages ... should be required reading for all humanity."
"Night" is Wiesel's account of his family's placement in the Auschwitz death camp and is the first of more than 40 books, essays and plays he has written.
The book is marketed on some online bookstores as a novel, but Wiesel's foundation labels it a memoir.
Winfrey's last book club pick, James Frey's memoir of addiction "A Million Little Pieces" has drawn criticism over allegations that Frey had fabricated some parts including a three-month prison stint that apparently never happened.
Winfrey reaffirmed her support last week of Frey's book when she phoned in to "Larry King Live" at the end of an hour-long interview with Frey. Winfrey did not mention Frey's book on Monday's show, reports AP.
