Talk:Marilyn French

message: I have removed the extraneous comment about French's smoking habit which precedes the diagnosis of esophageal cancer. The Wiki article on this condition lists 17 potential causes, of which smoking is only one. French lived till she was 79 years old. Fairlightseven 27/07/09

:Is this Swedish?  ABBA's song "The Day Before You Came" has a line that says "I must have read a while/The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style."  I have not heard of her otherwise until now (I clicked Random Article.)  Maybe Ms. French was better known in Sweden than in the U.S. Nelson Ricardo 23:26, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The obituary I read yesterday stated that French actually earned a Master's at Hofstra during her marriage and soon started working there as an instructor of English.  In other words, she may have left the school to marry but returned while still married, and it wasn't "years later" that she began teaching at Hofstra.  I can't locate the obit, but perhaps someone needs to check the details of French's education and possibly correct the article.Lolliapaulina51 (talk) 16:01, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Education

message: The author is featured in the ABBA song of 1982, "The Day Before You Came," a dark five minute vocal solo by Agnetha Faltskog accompanied by a driving minor rhythm.  Without mentioning him or the story of their romance, the song outlines the ennui of her life before "he" came into her life.  Near the end of this plaintive bit of her history, she inserts in the narrative that she would have been reading "Marilyn French, or something of that style."  Rather clearly, in her new life, she has turned away from this genre.70.130.44.37 (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
