Talk:Joseph McElroy

message: Hey!  The two new articles I created on Ancient History and Women and Men have been turned into redirects back to this article.  What on earth for?  Sheesh.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Choor monster (talk • contribs) 20:08, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Following commentary removed from the article:
:Note: more than usual itty-bitty details are listed, since McElroy incorporates these into his fiction.  For example, the Mayne family newspaper, the Letter, Cartwright married a Brit, the birth scene in Women and Men, and so on.  I don't know a smooth way to mention this in the article itself.  Some of the details come from the World Authors reference.   Also, the Encyclopedia Britannica refers to McElroy's full name as Joseph Prince McElroy (no Jr) but I'm not sure how this gets incorporated here or even if it's true.  The full name of the father comes from the World Authors reference, with no indication that he's a Sr or that JM has or had "Prince" as a middle name.  The EB article seems a little off anyway, wrong W&M page count, silly summaries, and so on.

message: Are we allowed to cite to the author's webpage's bio for citations, say regarding his fellowships?  I mean, I'm sure there are people out there who list phony accomplishments, and I don't think anyone thinks JM is one of those people, and I can find almost verification in Colby World Authors, which lists grants, not fellowships, from the various foundations, and doesn't mention "twice" for two of them like McElroy does.

thread_title:  Author webpage bio 

message: Is there a reference for this?  I mean, critics freely say Beckett or Pynchon influenced everybody, but McElroy is widely acknowledged to be unread. Choor monster (talk) 14:57, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: DeLillo influenced by McElroy?

message: Someone has reported on McElroy's 2nd wife and son.  Is this usable?  I know we're not to use Primary Records to spy on people, it's not clear if marriage status counts. Choor monster (talk) 21:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
