Mistress of Spices – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 25 daily hits

The Mistress of Spices, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, is one of the novels that kicked off the Indian-in-America trend in publishing, and was arguably Divakaruni's careermaker. It's also notable for its use of magical realism. This article could use a better photo, links to and summaries of more contemporary reviews and literary criticism, an explanation of how this book's popularity affected the author's career and US publishing trends in general, and a much better plot summary.

Support Actually, every sign of the Zodiac here at Wikipedia has got a "little half ass paragraph" at the moment. I nominated Aries a while b ack, so no reason why this should be supported too. In fact, why not do a Zodiac-athon where one week is dedicated to just improving those articles? All 12 are pretty bare bones. :)--Coin945 (talk) 01:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He is unusually prolific, and the first person to ever win the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards for the same story.

A website that was extremely popular during the Dot-com bubble (at its peak it was worth $3.57 billion and was the third-most visited site on the Web), and was pretty much the predecessor to blogs and social networking sites today. The article needs much more research and citations(especially when it comes to its history before Yahoo's acquistion, and its legacy) and needs to be restructured.
