Comes in two types:

  • Cultural Verisimilitude - relates well to the common notion of something as defined in society

    e.g. The movie Bull Durham: the teams and atmosphere are captured well and accurately represent how Minor League Baseball life really is

  • Generic Verisimilitude - In a piece of literature, it fits well within its genre. That is, it feels like it belongs there, because it shares with other literary works the things that embody the genre itself

I like it!
