Helpful or not?
I found a children's book that is based on the childhood life of Owen Whitfield in the Mississippi Delta. It is fictional but I'm still wondering if it would be helpful with culture. Is it a bad idea to use a fictional story as a source or could this be useful to find out cultural details of the Mississippi Delta?

I feel like you could read it and use it in the sense as to how people "perceive" him and his life, but I would not take it as a literal source just because it is fictional!
