Talk:Gerald Vizenor

message: The statement that Vizenor is the most published Native writer needs support. As a matter of fact, I believe he remains behind Robert Conley (Cherokee) in number of books. He certainly was behind Conley when I counted the total output of both in the late 1990s. JStripes 01:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Was a belief in racial separatism the reason Belladonna was poisoned by the hunters and breeders at Orion? When she was served the poisoned cookies, a breeder explained, "when questions are unanswered and there is no humor the messages become terminal creeds, and the good hunters and breeders here seek nothing that is terminal . . . So the questioners become celebrants when there is nothing more to learn" (Darkness, p.193; Bearheart: Heirship, p.197). Indeed, Louis Owens sides with her interrogators, suggesting that Vizenor employs them to deconstruct her utterance of "Indian identity" (Other Destinies, p.7). JStripes 04:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Where does the information that U Minn. American Indian studies ceased to exist originate? As you can see from the reference I've added, the department exists. That isn't to say that it always has existed. Where, specifically, does he satirize the department in his fictions? We should have a reference there. JStripes 12:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking we may want to stick to some of the general form of Wikipedia author articles for the sake of user-friendliness--especially for the bibliographies (i.e. italics for title, correct capitalization, etc). This will save us all a lot of work. For this reason, I'd like to actually get rid of the publishers citation, although if the book is hard to find or out of print, I could see this being an important fact. For now, I've abbreviated them (MLA), and removed unnecessary details like the particular series a book was printed within. I'll try to come back later and put in the correct dates. I've also left all the subtitles in, although I think the standard is to leave them out. Sometimes they're helpful identifiers; sometimes superfluous. Any thoughts? Also, I think we're supposed to use American spellings for American authors. Efrafra 08:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, sorry about the British spellings on a lot of these articles, it's something I tend to forget to correct. (I'm British).  There is a standard guideline on bibliographies, which I keep meaning to get round to look at.  I think with Vizenor's books, however, it might be worth leaving the subtitles in as he seems to use them to communicate a sense of the book, rather than the usual factual information.

message: The bibliography section needs serious work and is v out of date, particularly when it comes to "essays." However, I wonder if a complete bibliography of work about Vizenor is necessary? It could be spun off into its own list article by now.Vizjim (talk) 09:17, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
