Should this really be labelled a stub? It looks like a more or less complete article to me. I'm going to remove the tag, and if someone feels I've acted in error, they can feel free to put it back. 5dots 22:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] poor reviews versus ambivalent reviews

Foer received some very favorable reviews for his second novel, and some poor reviews for his novel. It seems as though it's rather more controversial than the first, not decidedly poor. I would still place it in the critically acclaimed category -- but that decision would enunciate which reviewers I favor.

As such, I think that ambivalent is more accurate a term to describe the reception of his second novel.

[edit] Princeton Prizes

According to 63.206.99.138 there is only a senior creative writing thesis prize, but a quick search of the Princeton website suggests that there are prizes for other years as well ([1]) so I'm reverting to the previous edit for the moment, the information here [2] seems to support this. Personally, I have no idea how the prizes work, or whether or not Jonathan Safran Foer won the prizes listed or not, I'm just going on the information of others that I can find, so if someone actually knows something about them please feel free to put what ever is correct up. --Caprosser 12:16, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
