I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with 'the librarian' in the title. It might be about a librarian's daily life, adventures in a library, or perhaps a mystery involving a librarian.
Sure, The Personal Librarian is indeed historical fiction. It weaves a story set in a specific historical period, often incorporating accurate details and cultural elements of that time.
Well, front desk could be either. If it's in a fictional novel where there are made-up characters and events happening at the front desk, then it's fiction. But if it's in a factual account of a hotel's operations or a workplace study, it's nonfiction.
I don't think 'Front Desk' is a graphic novel. Usually, graphic novels have a lot of visual elements and a specific style of illustration, but it seems 'Front Desk' doesn't fit that description.
Well, librarian graphic novels often have strong narrative elements. They need to tell a story clearly, just like any good book. For example, they might have a beginning, middle, and end that is easy to follow. They also usually have engaging illustrations. These illustrations are not just for decoration but help to tell the story, like in 'Persepolis' where the art style adds to the emotional impact of the story. Another characteristic is that they can cover a wide range of topics, from historical events like in 'Maus' to fictional adventures like in 'The Adventures of Tintin'.
