Who has called Mr. Furst "an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.14.122.52 (talk) 04:23, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to Alicia Dietrich, public affairs assistant at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, "Critics call him an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene." with no further information as to which critics have done so. ^[1]

It would probably be best to put the quote in the text with appropriate attribution also in the text, as "According to the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, 'Critics call him (Furst) an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene.' " As I'm at present being stalked by other editors who seem intent on reverting anything I edit, then protecting it from being edited by me, I'll leave this work to someone who hasn't pissed off Wikipedia's trolls. loupgarous (talk) 07:08, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
