Observations

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

   HTML document size: 95 kB
   Prose size (including all HTML code): 18 kB
   References (including all HTML code): 34 kB
   Wiki text: 24 kB
   Prose size (text only): 11 kB (1785 words) "readable prose size"

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

Lede is a neat introduction.
Plot is short and sharp.
How an author portrays his characters: sympathetic yet with greed and immorality besieged by social inequality.
Background and publication history is good, references to Daisy Miller and Henry James suffice.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

This article suffers from over-linking.
I am not sure overtourism needs a link in the lead. Best left to the relevant section.
Pace refers to pace in narrative, this link is appropriate.
In the Plot section, we do not need links to Venice, nor New York City.
Palazzo has already been linked in the lead, see WP:OVERLINK as the guide.
My sense is that linking expatriate is overlinking. It is a common term.
Patricia Highsmith is linked in the lead; further links are not necessary.
Do we need a link to Peggy Gugghenhiem Collection? Is this necessary to appreciate its inclusion? Consider.
Everyone knows where Paris is, we do not need a link.
Links to Mestre and Linosa - are these necessary to grasping the narrative, the location? Consider.
We do not need a link to doorstop.
In Background and publication history we do not need a link to Ohio.
We do not need links to non-profit organisation, nor monastery.
Airbnb is a term in the public domain. Link is not necessary.
We don't need links to hardback, paperback nor audiobook.
Social class is a self-evident term, it does not need a link.
Patricia Highsmith has been linked in the lead. A second link is not needful.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

Overtourism is well referenced.
Reception is balanced: praise and criticism.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

Yes, NPOV is preserved in this article;

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:

Page created 5 September 2021
Page is stable

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Page has 6 images

Overall:

This is a well crafted article about a work of fiction, if a little overlinked.
Good work on the references and obtaining archived versions.
If we can sort the overlinking, then nothing else stands in the way of a GA assessment for this article. --Whiteguru (talk) 07:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
