Hermann Boeschenstein

(

)

... that University of Toronto professor Hermann Boeschenstein published two novels during his lifetime, 56 years apart? Source: Armin Arnold, [1]: "It must be a rare phenomenon in literary history—an author publishing two novels, one at the age of 21, the next 56 years later, at the age of 77. Another curious fact is that one of the female protagonists is based—in both works—on the same person: Böschenstein's wife Elisabeth Schoch (deceased 1976)."

New enough, long enough, hook cited both here and in the article (will AGF for the print sources). If I had to nitpick, might be worth having an inline citation directly after "56 years later" in the article. Copyvio shows no major concerns. Prefer the first of the three hooks. QPQ done, believe this is good to go. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 13:37, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
