I haven't formed my own opinion yet since I haven't finished. Just throwing this question out there which is certainly not meant to be argumentative so please don't misinterpret. It's simply for thought in what defines criteria to classify a book as literary nonfiction.
This book received a respected US literary award selected by a writer's panel whose mission is "to celebrate the best of American literature, to expand its audience, and to enhance the cultural value of great writing in America." The Goodreads description defines it as a "literary companion" that "will endure as a vital work of American history. "
What aspects of the book do we think compelled people to make these statements?
