 * Delete nn book by apparently nn author, fails WP:BOOK, will be published tomorrow apparently...borders on spam Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per fact that publication date states tomorrow, at time of making this comment. Thus, the novel can't assert sufficient notability to reason inclusion, and the author himself is also nn. Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability is now asserted - delete vote withdrawn. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Novel is published by a major publisher (Grove Press), and has one review link (with possibly more to be added). I'm adding this to the Novels Wikiproject and will ask if anyone there has information they can add to this article. 23skidoo (talk) 00:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no published review--the link is to a blog. DGG (talk) 01:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Major publisher, not to mention extensive reviews:  San Francisco Chronicle, Marie Claire, Time Out New York, Las Vegas Weekly according to Variety film rights have already been sold.  Reviewed by the LA Times (which is hardly frivolous) and according to Bookweb it is set to be reviewed by The New York Times Book Review this weekend.  Even without Review of Books this is an obvious keep. --JayHenry (talk) 01:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Major publisher, major launch, major reviews. Film right sold already shows considerable interest. Many reviews, admittedly some mixed, however this appear to have all the signs of a launch a major new author. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  09:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Those reviews show definite notability. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad reviews: the fact that those publications chose to review the book at all demonstrates notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Additional review coverage in enfusemagazine . Also, there is review coverage by all major trade publications: Booklist, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal as well as reviews from major literary writers including Janet Fitch, George Pelecanos, Roland Muerullo, Jim Shepard and others. These reviews can all be found on the Amazon page for this book Author is also the son of NY Times bestselling author Joe McGinniss (The Selling of the President 1968, Fatal Vision, others). So the book is published by a major publisher, has review coverage by all trade publications, and is being covered/reviewed by major newspapers and national magazines - these all show definite notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Applemartini1122 (talk • contribs) 17:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
