This was previously closed prior to the accidental Massive Discussions Data Loss(TM). The short version is, no evidence that this breaks Rule 4 or Rule 1 has been provided: indeed, we have quotes from the author both calling it a narrative (so it passes Rule 1) and an explicitly "valid" one (so it passes Rule 4). In addition, the OP hasn't read the book, which is usually grounds for summary closure of in/exclusion debates. The novel remains valid.
