[Back] Is it a novel or an essay?

If the landlord is talking about Mr. Zhu Ziqing's work "The Back", it is prose.

If the landlord is talking about Mr. Zhu Ziqing's collection of works "Back", it is a collection of essays.

If the landlord or other netizens wrote a novel "The Back", then it is of course a novel, and I have nothing to say about it.
