Realistic fiction is a genre of fiction that is set in the present or recent past and that realistically depicts the life and experiences of its characters. It has been described as being “about people and their lives, presented as they are, without artifice or exaggeration.”
Realistic fiction often deals with the challenges and tensions that people face in everyday life, and it is focused on the human experience. It can be gritty, realistic, and emotional, and it often focuses on the relationships between people.
Realistic fiction can be divided into two categories: contemporary realistic fiction and realistic historical fiction. Contemporary realistic fiction is set in the present day, and it often deals with the challenges that people face in today’s society. Historical realistic fiction is set in the past and is concerned with the challenges that people faced in the past.
