The NYTimes keeps to the tradition of putting books into categories that their respective authors establish. That is why the Obama Diaries were also put into the nonfiction portion, even though it was satire, the author "kept" with the story it was nonfiction. Thus, if you wrote a book about your encounter with unicorns and it became a best-seller, and you said it was true, they would probably put it in the nonfiction section.

tl;dr It is the tradition of the NYTimes to follow author's means rather than to subjectively critique every book and create a definite truth.
