Talk:Michiko Kakutani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding a potential POV issue. I largely rewrote this article and consciously used the term 'laughable' to describe Kakatuni's use of the word limn in her reviews. I did so specifically because her use of the word prompted her more trenchant opponents to laugh at her (follow the links). This is not, therefore, a POV issue. Another term may be more applicable, but it needs at any event to convey the implicit polemics. Dottore So 22:36, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Um, I don't think we need to have Norman Mailer's complaints about Kakutani. Wikipedia is a collection of facts, not a collection of opinions famous people have about each other. Isomorphic 28 June 2005 04:35 (UTC)

I completely disagree. The Mailer quote is used to give a more well-rounded sense of her reputation. He speaks for a lot of people.

I'm a great fan of Michiko - but where does the author come up with the notion that she's a 'practicing Christian.' The sum and substance of her writing is overwhelmingly secular, urban & liberal; there is no trace of Christianity (or any other religion for that matter) in her writing - so I doubt that this 'factoid' is accurate.
