[edit] Childrens books, broad definition
It seems to me to require a very broad definition of the picaresque to include the Oz books or Harry Potter. Don't we want to compare and contrast to the picaresque proper, rather than just say these are "picaresque". - Jmabel | Talk 05:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I definitely think that the childrens' book section should be removed. I don't see how it makes any sense. How do any of those books represent an anti-hero on the road? I'm going to remove it. If you want to put it back, discuss it here. - Loperco | Talk 14:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not very diverse set of examples
Only one female author (Rita Mae Brown). I added Sarah Waters' applauded Tipping the Velvet but there needs to be considerably more work on this set of lists. --LQ 03:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
