Talk:Richard Flanagan

What about his academic work - don't we need the earlier part of his career as well?User:SatuSuro 06:28, 9 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

haha - 8 years later we have people making academic careers out of explaining him: *http://www.ca-cranston.com/Flanagan%20.pdf Representation of Region and Nation in Literary Culture Studies Conference, University of Madras, 2009. Transcript of Plenary session 'The (Hydro)power Relations within Nation and Region, and the (de)formation of Identity in the case of Richard Flanagan' by Dr. CA. Cranston. Discusses the relationship of Flanagan's novels, films, to Island politics.

This section in particular reads like a publishers blurb rather than an encyclopedia article - every book quotes extensively from a positive review stating what an amazing writer Flanagan is. Some collection of critical assessment is appropriate, but the tone of this skews much too far toward seeking critical praise rather than describing what the novels are about, when they were published, what the context was, etc.Irregulargalaxies (talk) 04:35, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I agree a little. I mean, it does show the novels are notable, but you could add some differing views for neutrality. Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:40, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

You will note that all bar two of the novels mentione din this section have specific pages dedicated to them so I would suspect that the bulk of the critical material relating to those works will appear on those pages and therefore doesn't belong here. Maybe the approach is to move some of the "critical responses" from this page to the specific novel pages. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:20, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

If his severe hearing loss was corrected at age 6, presumably decades before he ever wrote anything, is it appropriate to categorise him as a deaf writer? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 08:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
