I have indeed read him. He writes both YA and adult and I love his writing for both ages. I've read most of his work. I read some before I joined Goodreads, but here's my list:

You'd have to check BPL for YA shelving.

If Summer Sketches won't work, will his essay contribution in Jack Vance: Critical Appreciations and a Bibliography count for a nonfiction publication? His essay titled "Jack Vance: Dragon Master" is published in that book.
Also here is a link to his bibliography on his author website:
(Which clarifies that Summer Sketches is non-fiction)

Apologies, should have checked his page, but in my defense, I get on at 5am, and if I haven't finished my coffee my brain isn't bouncing yet :p
Approved.
Victor HugoAccording to his Wiki page:
"...was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement..... In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry and then from his novels and his dramatic achievements."

Approved, although I think as his political speeches have also been published he may also be considered for non-fiction as well!

Yes!
and yes for A.M. Homes, also.

Yes, indeed!
Christine Brooke-Rose see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi... which shows she is a novelist, poet and critic and has also written short stories and an autobiography.

Tessa HadleyFrom Wiki:
"Tessa Jane Hadley ... is a British author of novels, short stories and non-fiction."

Adding to the list!
Can I get okay for Angela du Maurier? According to Wikipedia she wrote two auto bios, novels and short stories.

(The name is familiar, but not because I've read him. Have you read him before for one of the challenges?)
No, but somebody else may have. He writes YA, so maybe Karen Michele?
I've had Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe on my wishlist for a while and just saw the ebook on sale, so I grabbed it :)
