Maybe it is fiction. Maybe it isn't ;)

Well, just from the point of view that it’s written in, with the first person character being a man, and with the main character being dead already, I would put my money on it being a fictionalized telling of something that is very non-fiction.

But I’m not a gambler, so …

You're very smart. Don't gamble. The house always wins you know :)
