Progress (book)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A book that exists, but seems to fail Notability (books). I cannot find any reliable (non-user generated) review, nothing but a few passing mentions in media. The content of this tiny stub is repeated at Fran Lebowitz. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:53, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: As far as I can tell, this book has never been released. There are mentions here and there, but all trivial. I've found mentions like this NYT article that mentioned that the book was supposed to release around the time of the Vanity Fair article, but that the release never happened for whatever reason. Lebowitz is a famous enough person to where if the book did release, it'd get some sort of coverage. I say that this redirects to her article until it releases - if it ever does. It's not uncommon for authors to have books that never actually see the light of day. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:02, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fran Lebowitz. This isn't independently noteworthy and the coverage just isn't there to show that it would pass - or that it'll be released any time soon. I have no objection to this being restored once the book publishes and gains coverage, but it should not be done before then. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:45, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to author's article where the listing there could be expanded, apparently not being completed in the near future - "... the forthcoming “Progress,” which will be published within the century."from 2011 NYT article. Coolabahapple (talk) 14:45, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
