 * Keep per WP:NAUTHOR: (Kirkus Reviews),  (The New Yorker),  (The Huffington Post),  (The Globe and Mail). His website  also lists a number of awards which maybe other editors could independently verify. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 22:27, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, for his other book: (Kirkus),  (Publishers Weekly). AleatoryPonderings (talk) 22:29, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:AUTHOR for having multiple reviews of multiple books. In addition to the above, there's a gray-area-independent item in the UMass Amherst alumni magazine. Of course, they can be counted on to describe their alumni in glowing terms, but they're probably still more independent than his current employer. And the Montreal Review of Books looks reliable for our purposes. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 06:34, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep.

 * Keep. Enough reviews (including one in the Washington Post) to pass WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:25, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
