# Talk:White Dog (Gary novel)

Need a source for "Gary and Seberg's efforts to reeducate their racist pet are described in the context of the social unrest of the late 1960s, specifically the assassination of Martin Luther King, the rise and fall of the Black Power movement, and the May 1968 student demonstrations in Paris."

The back cover of the newer English release of White Dog has quotes from reviews supposedly from Harper's, Atlantic Monthly, and Library Journal but searches of all three from EBSCO and Lexis Nexis have not found any of these reviews. Anyone else have better luck? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I've requested copies of both, though probably will not get till the 23rd since its spring break at A&M :) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 03:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I have one lengthy French article about this and another of Romain's work that appear to go into themes and what not, but the translators just can't translate it! Anyone who reads French well willing to go through and see what it has? If so, let me know and I can send it via PDF. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 00:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Storyline is too short. Can you add something more? Or else, what's the rule for a 279-page book? Hometech (talk) 18:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

There isn't any real rule for books. Television episodes 150-300, and Films 400-700, so guess somewhere in there. Having not read the book myself, I could only put in what I could find in reliable sources rather than from the book. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:04, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
I will boldly restore the yet-to-be-done status of this article. This was not a GA review that states whether the GA criteria are now there or comments on whether the issues raised in the first review where addressed. The article was left listed at WP:GAN anyway.
