Novels
This section in particular reads like a publishers blurb rather than an encyclopedia article - every book quotes extensively from a positive review stating what an amazing writer Flanagan is. Some collection of critical assessment is appropriate, but the tone of this skews much too far toward seeking critical praise rather than describing what the novels are about, when they were published, what the context was, etc.Irregulargalaxies (talk) 04:35, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree a little. I mean, it does show the novels are notable, but you could add some differing views for neutrality. Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:40, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Deaf writers category
If his severe hearing loss was corrected at age 6, presumably decades before he ever wrote anything, is it appropriate to categorise him as a deaf writer? --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  08:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
