Different Howard Fast?
The main page looks like it refers to a different Howard Fast than the one that wrote The General Zapped an Angel. Can anyone clear this up? Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 06:22, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * What main page were you referring to ? Fast wrote The General, but this book is not mentioned in the article. It should be, perhaps, if that was what you meant (with the following link for instance : http://www.tangentonline.com/classics-reviewed-columnsmenu-165/1151-the-general-zapped-an-angel-new-stories-of-fantasy-and-science-fiction-by-howard-fast).--Pierre et Condat (talk) 08:43, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Communist Party
Could anyone clarify if it is true that when Howard Fast resign to the Comunist Party, after Kruschev revelations on Stalinism horrors, he said " I've been wrong my whole life" ECF sep.2011  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enr1q3 (talk • contribs) 14:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The answer must be in Being Red (1990) if Fast actually wrote that sentence. However this is not stated in the article current version, is it ? --Pierre et Condat (talk) 08:43, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Great reference for this author's work
"Howard Fast: a critical companion" by Andrew F. MacDonald - 1996 - 201 pages. The first book-length study of the fiction of Howard Fast, one of the most widely read and controversial American writers of the 20th century. 66.75.66.240 (talk) 06:22, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Inadequate cover of literary work
In its current form, the article concentrates mainly on Fast's life from a political perspective, and skims very partially over his voluminous and varied literary works. He wrote extensively in the genres of history, novelised history, historical fiction, detective fiction, and science fiction (and probably others, I'm not familiar with all of his ouvre, particularly under his pseudonyms). It seems to me that the author of as prominent a work as Spartacus, let alone some of his other novels, plays and poems, must have been the subject of formal critical studies by US (if not other) academics. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.56.237 (talk) 09:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
