Talk:Jamila Gavin

Illustrators

 * first of multiple new sections -P64

Someone who knows her work may be able to judge which illustrators we should identify. At least the illustrators of children's picture books, if any.

According to Walker Books in 2009, the forthcoming illustrations of Alexander the Greatest are the greatest. Walker announced a different illustrator, however. --P64 (talk) 21:35, 7 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops, no, that is a different book Alexander the Great (Walker, 2012). I added it to the list of Works with a note about its uncertain genre. --maybe fictionalised biography --P64 (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Official website
Jamila Gavin's official website is dead now and I tagged it dead in the biography footer.

The latest version of the homepage at Internet Archive is dated 2011-07-22: Catching Up on Time (archived). I have not checked that all links can be followed there. --P64 (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Genre

 * last of multiple new sections -P64

John Clute in the Science Fiction Encyclopedia (continuing online update of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction) mentions:
 * "Ali and the Robots (1986), a not particularly challenging tale involving Robots, and the more ambitious The Wormholers'' (1996), an Alternate Cosmos tale."

I added the speculative fiction shortcut last hour because ISFDB covers these two books. And cat historical novelists based on some library catalog summaries.

Evidently most of her fiction is a step or three away but I don't know where on the spectrum(?) from historical fiction, legend, mythology, and religion. --P64 (talk) 01:59, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
