Elizabeth (Alaska) Why are we showing this author with a "Jr." when he published without it?

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.


message 2: by Miriam (new)

Miriam | 1831 comments Because some of the editions were published with the "Jr."

Since all of the shorter name is included in the "complete" name, the complete name can be used for the author profile.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Ok, it's just confusing, and I do understand the policy. However, I expect that anyone with an edition with Jr. could find what they were looking for without it.
