Books by 2015 Man Booker Lead Judge

[Lily]

Been awhile since I bothered one or more of you wonderful people that try to keep book listings straight and current. I'm afraid this one may be messy for anyone who takes it on.

Michael Wood is a Princeton Emeritus Professor who has just been named chair of the 2015 Man Booker judges. With that background, it is not surprising to find his name associated with a number of books. However, I'm not certain all those listed belong to this Michael Wood, e.g., the Police Manuel.

But more significantly, in the Wiki list of his publications, I find these for which there is no Goodreads listing on the author page here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

• Stendhal (Cornell University Press, 1971)
• America in the Movies or Santa Maria, It Had Slipped My Mind (Basic Books, 1975)
• Gabriel García Márquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cambridge University Press, 1990)
• The Magician's Doubts: Nabokov and the Risks of Fiction (Chatto and Windus, 1994)
• Belle de Jour (British Film Institute Publishing, 2001)
• The Road to Delphi: The Life and Afterlife of Oracles (Farrar Straus and Giroux, 2003)

Below are the other entries named in his Wiki article -- these do appear on his author page. However, these two lists together create a substantially shorter list than Goodreads shows, which leads me to wonder if some of the Goodreads entries belong to another writer with a similar name, but I have not checked them.

• Children of Silence: on contemporary fiction (Columbia University Press, 1998)
• Franz Kafka (Northcote House/British Council, 2004)
• Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation, editor with Sandra Bermann (Princeton University Press, 2005)
• Literature and the Taste of Knowledge (Cambridge University Press, 2005)
• Yeats and Violence (Oxford University Press, 2010)
• Film: A very short introduction (Oxford University Press, 2012)

We have several Michael Woods; the one you refer to is here (2 spaces): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I've done what I could to sort books from https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (the single-space profile that catches all the automatic imports).

The 3-space profile is a mix of various others at the moment https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
And there are 3 other author profiles of the same name.

I haven't added any books not already on Goodreads.

Thanks for your efforts, Abc..

Certainly seems more credible that what I was looking at last night. (There is still one in Arab(?) scrip from 1998 that looks a little suspicious.)

Now I will go back and be certain that my entry is linked to this Michael Woods.

I wasn't sure about the Arabic one either, but it's to do with Jean Racine, so I thought it might be his.
