Re: LaszloWalrus' edit
LaszloWalrus removed sentences regarding Saunders' dabbling with and ultimate rejection of objectivist ideas, saying they were "uncited". This despite the fact that there clearly was a citation, a reference to an interview (that is online) with LA Weekly where Saunders says exactly what was stated in the article here. Since the claim was clearly cited and LaszloWalrus seems to be a self-described objectivist with an axe to grind, I have reverted this completely nonsensical edit.

External link to interviews are not spam
NOTE TO shelfskewed... Apologies if we have broken rules but we do not believe we have done so... Does adding author interviews fall under the spam rules (they are Q&As with said authors)? For example, you have left interviews with other entities under said articles (Guernica, Powells, NPR, etc...) Again, since the magazine is not for profit and posting author interview with the article subjects is not spamming. Again, we mean no harm but honestly believe that said interviews with these subjects should be included among the links and since the authors are speaking for themselves are valuable for wiki users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.172.155.42 (talk) 20:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

“A Lack of Order in the Floating Object Room,” ...used it to get into Syracuse.This story was originally published in Northwest Review, Volume 24, Number 2, in 1986."

Fables
I don't think that Frip ought to be under fables, or if it is, then Phil ought to be there, too. They're both what Saunders has called "genocide books for children," and so they are not really children's books at all, but rather adult books, novels or novellas depending upon how you define the same, and therefore not in some separate category. Also, "fable" is a genre, while "novel" is a descriptor of length. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.103.122 (talk) 07:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Lincoln in the Bardo
Upon reading this entry, I was surprised that there is no mention of "Lincoln in the Bardo". I am not a literary type nor did I even finish reading this novel, but I'm sure there's someone out there who can add something about it.37Corbett (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
