message: Notable Names Database says he admitted to sleeping with men decades ago.  Can he be added to bisexual categories?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.231.249.137 (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, it would be fair to say he was bisexual, although he wouldn't have called himself that. He was resistant to strict categorization of sexuality.--ShelfSkewed Talk 14:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

*Is User:Hcoale Howard Coale? And even if so, did he retain the rights to this image or sell them to the New Yorker? It seems more likely the magazine owns the copyright -Nard 20:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: IFD discussion

message: Two quibbles with this article, which could use a lot of help (image is great -- until Wiki lawyers take it down.)
Runaway Soul does use parts of Stories in a Classical Mode. At least part of the long sex story (Orra/Ora) in a changed form, and more, I think.
Women and Angels should be listed under Short Stories, since it contains three short stories. It is a special publication for the Jewish Publication Society but not sure why it rates the dubious Miscellaneous distinction.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrimbleGrumble (talk • contribs) 20:45, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can correct the information about The Runaway Soul and Stories in an Almost Classical Mode with a concrete example or two, please do. That would be great. (Although I love his early work, I never could get through The Runaway Soul.) Women & Angels is a tough one, because it's neither fish nor fowl. "Ceil" certainly is a short story, but "Lila" and "Angel" I would call novellas. I suppose we could change the first category from "Short-story collections" to "Story collections" and accomodate W&A.--ShelfSkewed Talk 21:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The ciriticism section included by IP 74.73.177.95 in Feb 2012 is exclusively negative, it would be good to balance it with positive criticism. He did receive the O. Henry Award twice, so there must be some. --MarioS (talk) 13:12, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
