Redirected to father's article, for reasons stated - so far she has written a single novel, and I'm not convinced that this justifies a separate article.HeartofaDog 18:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The notice should remain for five days before deletion. The author has written one novel and received an award for the book. There are other authors out there who have only written one book yet still have an article. Wishi 16:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the matter of the PROD notice, it only needs to remain for as long as the article is proposed for deletion. If instead, as here, the article is not deleted but merged into another article, then there is no longer any need for the PROD notice to remain. On the rest, my view remains - regardless of other one-book wonders - that authorship of a single novel which is trendy for the moment is not enough to make this particular writer notable yet - and the Orange Award is scarcely the Booker. But you clearly feel strongly enough about it to take on a whole new ID to re-establish the article, and I don't feel strongly enough to take it to AfD, so bitte sehr.HeartofaDog 17:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added reference to Sunday_Times_Young_Writer_of_the_Year_Award and both books being featured on Book at Bedtime - significant critical attention. Plus, both her books have been reviewed in major periodicals worldwide (see links at bottom of the publisher page, though there are a large number of non-review links mixed in). In other words, I claim notability under [Wikipedia:Author] rules 3 & 4, and am removing the notability query template. --Yoz (talk) 06:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Kennedke: Did you check the linked article on the book, Disobedience (novel), where the response to the book is expanded on? Because there are a few sources cited there verifying that he book caused some controversy (1, 2, 3). This being an article on Naomi Alderman and not the book itself, naturally this article shouldn't go into much detail on the book's controversy that is already covered in the main article for the book itself.

Biography

The section includes "Naomi Alderman was educated at South Hampstead High School and Lincoln College, Oxford ... When she transitioned to a more upper-class secondary school" which implies an earlier secondary school. Shouldn't it be mentioned? Mcljlm (talk) 23:44, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Zombies run

Shouldn't there be a mention of her being the lead writer for zombies run?

The Wolf in the Water

From BBc Radio 3 - Drama on 3: What happened to Jessica, Shylock's daughter in The Merchant of Venice?

In the original Shakespeare, Jessica is a minor but fascinating character, Shylock's only daughter, who leaves him to convert to Christianity and marry Lorenzo. We are left rather uncertain about how that marriage is going to work out. It's also implicit that the conversion isn't going to be easy on either party. ... The Wolf in the Water by Naomi Alderman is an imaginative response to The Merchant of Venice, in which we meet an older Jessica in 1615, secretly still practising her Jewish faith in a turbulent Venice that is increasingly hostile to Jews. A murder, twenty innocent Jews facing death - Jessica becomes embroiled in a mystery that challenges her apparently settled life and reconnects her with her identity. The year may be 1615, but the themes are universal and relevant. What drives one group to persecute another? What shameful deeds are done by those to whom we entrust our money? Can we ever be cosmopolitans - citizens of all nations and none - or will our ethnicity, our religion, even the ineradicable traces of God, always draw us back, perhaps to doom ourselves?

Naomi Alderman is an award-winning writer, writing her first BBC Radio 3 drama commission, after establishing herself at the cutting edge of new fiction and audio gaming.

Part of the BBC's Shakespeare Festival but also marking the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Venice ghetto.

The Wolf in the Water cast includes actors from the regular cast of Zombies, Run! The global phenomenon that Naomi created and now has over 1 million players.
