I saw journalist too, which is why I thought he might count.

How about this for non-fiction ?

Yes, that works. He's now on the list!

It says novels and short stories under Science Fiction, and then there are essays which include philosophical writings.

If I can progress through a Mega finish quickly my library card is getting a slamming later in the season!

Thanks for the pointer - he's on the list!

Could Dave Eggers be added, please?

Also, is it required to get these authors on the list in advance?

Got him.

No, it isn't absolutely necessary, but posting here rather than in the Completed Tasks thread will make scorekeeping easier. (My brain works in a somewhat compartmentalized way.)

Yes, I've added a couple to my list that I might not have considered.

[Gabriel]

How about E.T.A. Hoffman?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._T._A...

Clearly we have fiction, ballet libretti, musical criticism.

Tayeb Salih

The link goes to an extract from Encyclopedia Britannica Online and mentions:

Season of Migration to the North (Novel)
The Wedding of Zein & Other Stories (Short Stories)
A multivolume autobiography (Non-fiction)

WorldCat also lists him as co-author of "Nationalism, Islam and World Literature : Sites of Confluence in the Writings of Mahmud al-Masadi", an e-book which sounds non-fiction to me.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Yes

Doris Lessing
Tayeb Salih

[Cory Day]

Naomi Novik

Novel: Throne of Jade
Short Stories: The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Graphic Novel: Will Supervillains Be on the Final?: Liberty Vocational Volume 1

Keith Waterhouse listed on GR as a novelist, journalist and screenwriter.... but some of his books are also non-fiction.

Okay, so I've borrowed a stack of books from the library before spring tasks were announced! I've just been trying to fit them all and I think I could fit James Phelan here:

Kate Atkinson has written novels, a play and short stories, according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_At...

[Karen Michele]

Could Annie Proulx be added, please?

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/p/a...

and John Irving?

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/i/j...

Thanks!

[Bea]

Zora Neale Hurston - poetry, plays, short stories, essays, novels, non-fiction, autobiography

Good! Added her for this and 10.8 (20.4 will be automatic, but I think you were alerting anyone else for the additional combo).

[Bea]

Ruth Rendell

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_...

Novels and short story collections are obvious, but she has written at least one non-fiction history: Ruth Rendell's Suffolk

BPL Worldcat lists it as history

Also a political tract: Undermining The Central Line

Would that be sufficient for a third category for this task?

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Thanks! And Rendell combos with 20.2 Graham Greene and 10.7 Four Letter Names!

[Rosemary]

What if they write under pen names? Ruth Rendell is Barbara Vine - so would Barbara Vine count, or would she have had to have published different forms under the name Barbara Vine too? I think as Barbara Vine she has only published novels.

We look at each author name as a separate entity.

I am STILL 4th in the queue, so not expecting it before May now.
So, it will be part of my bonus list, if it turns up. Otherwise I need to make sure it fits for next season ;)
