Delete he writes for a newspaper, so he gets published, but what is published about him is the measure of notability; his books rank #27,916, #1,435,411, and apparently not available at Amazon, nn. so nn. we don't know where or when he was born. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep we dont go by amazon rank--and if we did, actually 27,916 overall on amazon is very respectable. Remember, this is all time sales there ever for any book. At least 6 books, dozens of stories as  important writer for two major magazines: "a newspaper" and the New Yorker. "the Best Intentions" has review in at least 5 major publications, and might be notable as well. interviews, etc etc. I'm sure we'd find the vital stats too. Amazon has the top hits in a google search under his name, but we know that's doesnt mean much--there's usually a good deal more after that.  DGG (talk) 04:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG. --Storkk (talk) 14:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
