Talk:I. A. L. Diamond

Untitled
As a classmate of Iz Diamond at Boys High School and a fellow member at the Boys High School Weekly I knew Iz Diamond and, along with others, admired him. Iz was a mathematical wizard who won the tri-state mathematical competition (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) three years running. He was a member of the mathematics team that competed with other city high schools, hence his choice of I.A.L. standing for Interscholastic Algebra League. If you have any inquiries you can reach me at warbler@earthlink.net Larry Alson p.s. my understanding is that Iz, at Columbia, read in the college paper that they were looking for a book for the college musical. friends say that he stayed up all night and finished a musical book which was accepted. he then wrote books for all his years at Columbia. After graduation he was offered a job as a writer at a studio (I do believe it was Columbia but I am not sure.) Twowarblers 03:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Could someone set this page up so that Iz Diamond redirects here? I don't know how and this writer is often referred to by that nickname. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashish (talk • contribs) 06:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

"Ten neglected American writers who deserve to be better known"
I. A. L. Diamond was one of those 10, in a newspaper article of June 2, 1968, Chicago Tribune. The other writers were Edward Dahlberg, John Hawkes, William Gaddis, John A. Williams, Alison Lurie, Louis Zukofsky (all no longer completely neglected) and the still (to me) unknown Allan Seager, Alfred Grossman, Chaim Grade.--2001:9E8:5668:1900:B5B2:EC72:C661:9EFB (talk) 12:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Heritage
In order to help make this article properly encyclopedic, shouldn't Diamond's Jewish heritage be mentioned at least a single time in the text of this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
