My first full large article. Is this small enough to qualify as a stub? Someone needs to flesh out his biography... The "He lives in London, where he.." line comes from his book jackets, I wasnt sure if it was appropriate. --Quiddity 22:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the second half of the sentence. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 22:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's the jazz book that he's best known for. Most would say it's for Yoga and Out of Sheer Rage. Your thoughts? 72.241.103.162 (talk) 03:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 07:36, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
