I realize that literature does not have to be fiction to qualify, but is "Autobiography of Malcolm X" truly literature? Or, is it widely considered to be in another genre?

Yes, autobiographies are considered literature as well as poetry, novels, or even essays.

An autobiography is considered literature, a genre like fiction or essays. Malcolm X's life makes for fascinating reading and is a major work. Enjoy!

Literature is anything readable from a cereal box or pamphlet to the encyclopedia. The term "genre" speaks specifically to the various types of literature like science fiction, fiction, non-fiction,hsitorical, etc.
