Hour of the star

This article on a book has no references, no information on notability, and the summary reads like an advertisement. See Notability_(books). --smurdah (talk) 21:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Clarice Lispector. On one hand, the original contributor works for the book's publisher and the text is promo blurb to be removed. On the other hand, this is a notable author and I'll be flabbergasted if there isn't significant coverage out there. Until someone cares to cite such sources, this title can be briefly mentioned in the author's article. Marasmusine (talk) 00:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The author appears to be quite notable and so does this book. Anyone is welcome to clean out the promotional content. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:44, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
