Talk:Lessons in Chemistry (novel)

Word Choice
Referring to sentence: Garmus said that she doesn't share other commonalities with the Zott, instead claiming to have written her "role model".

The word 'claiming' implies disbelief. The word 'stating' would not infer judgement. Role model doesn't need quotes. The author's words from Ref. 7 are "I wrote my role model. I would like to be more like her." This conveys a little different thought. She wanted to write a character that provided her inspiration. ("Garmus claims" is similar a few sentences down.)

Referring to sentence: Prior to the auction, the eventual winner, Brie Larson, video called the author asking for her permission.

Awkward sentence. Brie Larson contacted the author by video to ask permission to make a bid. Scotter87 (talk) 02:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Per WP:CLAIM, the verb "claim" should never be used on Wikipedia (with the exception of descriptions of the most outrageous of WP:FRINGE theories and pseudoscience. Reword as "according to ______, ..." or other phrasing. Softlavender (talk) 10:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
