 * Delete: Lin claims the novel is finished, but its release date apparently has been pushed back from fall 2009 to 2010 -- so this article is WP:CRYSTAL. There's been some blog coverage of the fact that Lin sold 60% of the royalties to Richard Yates before it was written, however I can't find any reliable source coverage to justify having an article now.

 * Delete: for now. The entry on the author's page will do until publication is confirmed. Alberon (talk) 12:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The book is already covered in the article on the author and there is insufficient information to support a separate entry. - Mgm|(talk) 12:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
