Glad to!
I posted the author for points before I realized he might qualify for this combo - but in case this thread is checked first....Please approve Fritz Leiber
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_L...
Wikipedia says short stories, novels (like Goodreads) but also plays and essays.
Thanks.

Thanks, Beth. Yes, you're good with Fritz. (And I do try to check these threads first, but doubling up is OK.)

good one!
I happened to see a comment in the general question thread noting that this category is making 10.1 hard..... So, that had me check out André Alexis - and it seems that he fits this task in case anyone needs an author (novels, short stories, plays/opera). Grrrr.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3...

Yes, he's good. (although I had to go to the bibliography. I'm lazy.)

Han KangNovels, Short Stories, Poetry.
An extract from this link (Han Kang):
"She has published collections of short stories including Love in Yeosu, A Yellow Patterned Eternity, and The Fruits of My Woman as well as novels including Your Cold Hand, Black Deer, Greek Lessons, Breath Fighting, The Boy Is Coming and The Vegetarian. She has also published a poetry collection, I Put The Evening In The Drawer."

This may be a long shot, but there's no harm in asking! Ann Patchett
novels
non fiction (memoir, magazines, essays)
short story **this is the harder one to verify, I only see it mentioned once in wikipedia as one published in the Paris Review.

We've tried to be consistent in that we want the work to have been published in book form. If you can verify that that short story appeared in an anthology, we'll add her for this task.
How about Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni? According to her bio she's published novels, collections of short stories, and wrote a libretto for an opera - would that work for a play?

Mohsin Hamid has published novels, a book of essays and it looks like one short story has been published in an anthology (2011)

We'll take him.

Ok, thanks. I can't find anything quickly. If I am feeling ambitious when I get to her book I may look a little harder.
It seems Steven Pressfield works, although his GR profile does not say what he has written. I found it in wikipedia: novels, nf, screenplayshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_...

Well, and it looks like Penelope Lively needs to be added, too;)https://www.fantasticfiction.com/l/pe...

As Amanda asked for approval on George Orwell in the 10.8 thread, I was curious about this task. Novels, non-fiction, poetry

It was the poetry I was looking for! I'd seen fiction and non-fiction, but in the introduction to my copy of 1984 Thomas Pynchon mentions his poetry, so i was trying to find the evidence!
Thanks Elizabeth!
