[PrincessFiona60]

Genre clue?

 

[LPBeier]

I know it but book names and last name aren't coming to me

 

[Hoot]

Genre clue?

Well... that's an interesting question. When his works were first published, they were accepted as non-fiction. Over time much of his work is now believed to be fiction. I will give you this hint. He, ostensibly, was an anthropology student and wrote about his experiences south of the border.
Let us say the stories were other-worldly.
