Nope

Let me give you another clue. One of the characters is an animal.

Nope

İ must mention that although the story is categorized as science fiction, it is not as 'far out' science fiction as some stories. This story is much more believable.

Hmmm... No, not really. It has won a few awards, but nothing extraordinary.

However, it is known for being frequently challenged for censorship.

Sorry I wasn't here earlier to check if my character choice was the correct one.

OK, let's see ....

My character is from a pretty well known novel written by an American female.
