I will be reading Suzette Haden Elgin for this one. I only knew her as a nonfiction author so it was fun when I learned a while back that she was also a sci-fi writer.

Virginia Woolf is fine. James Cain works because he wrote the screenplays for some of his novels. (Novellas are just short novels and do not qualify as a second form.)

This looks very good - added it to my groaning wish list!
Kazen wrote: "I have two books for some WotW countries..."Do we get style points for WotW books?
Bea wrote: "Kazen wrote: "I have two books for some WotW countries..."Do we get style points for WotW books?"
No, I think Kazen was trying to decide which book would get moved over to the RwS tasks.
What Elizabeth said - I have two options for some countries and only one can be used for WotW, so I'm seeing which would garner more points in the main challenge.

Apologies for double ups!
Philip Roth: I see novels and non-fiction - what am I missing?Nicole Krauss - see post 12, where we say that essays must be published as a collection, not just as a magazine or newspaper article. An introduction to another author's fiction also is insufficient for this task.
Ali Smith and Julian Barnes previously approved.

He has published many short stories in magazines, but there have been no collections yet except with Goodbye Columbus. I hope he'll get around to it sometime because those stories are really good.

I found a mention of the short stories on the wiki link, but couldn't see where it was ( tired, tired, tired!), but I was sure someone here would have the answer! Thanks D!
