[edit] Chabon's "Pages" interview
Seems to me that Chabon's criticism of bloggers' reactions to the "Motherlove" essay is more pertinent than discussion of his "torrid" sex life. I left in the direct quote that Professorkemp added, but question the deletion of his opinions of the "slagosphere."129.186.159.110 22:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bio
The bio says "Her work unites a powerful sense of outrage and social injustice with a playful and self-deprecating sense of humor." Oh, please - no one but Ayelet Waldman herself would have written this.
- The IP address of the person who wrote that sentence in the original article (63.13.224.50) originates in Novato, CA, which is less than 30 miles from Berkeley. (cf. geobytes.com)
[edit] Grow up.
How many hundreds of thousands of people are there living in and around Novato. Doubtless at least a few of them are friends of Ms. Waldman. Her editor or agent might have rewritten it. Why cast the implied aspersion on Waldman's integrity, except from personal animus.
- With all the media attention that Wikipedia is getting, it's not surprising that people are inclined to "fix" their own articles - there's not necessarily anything sinister about it. But if Waldman has edited this article, then we need to add the "notable wikipedian" tag to this discussion page. Saranary 19:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shut up, Ayelet
It goes against Wikipedia rules to use it for your self-promotion. P

"Newsworthy"? But agree. Fixed characterisation of his remarks.
