Over recent weeks, I have made a few edits in order to improve the article. I hope my fellow editors feel I've done that. I have removed some maintenance templates as a result of my edits: (1) BLP needed additional citations for verification; (2) a major contributor seemed close to subject; (3) read like a résumé. To (1): I have added several new sources. To (2): I have removed uncited, familiar-seeming passages of bio, keeping only what I could footnote. To (3): I have cited a range of positive and negative criticism based on my judgment, as a reader of the subject's novels, of the critical consensus, such as it is.
