:*{{ping|CAPTAIN RAJU}}, would you be willing to take a closer look at this one? He doesn't seem to be an academic but, rather, a novelist / writer / critic who teaches writing at a university. His books seem to have been widely reviewed. And he is a critic for notable publications. Thanks. E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
