[edit] Where does he live?

In which county/town does Norman live? Badagnani 01:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Please respect his privacy. Prof. Norman lives in Kentucky; that is sufficient for this article.--Spacini 00:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is a normal thing to include such information in biographical articles. Harry Caudill, for example, was from Whitesburg, in fact inseparable from that city and county's culture. Norman has a similar connection to his land, which I assume is Hazard, Kentucky, home to many other artistic geniuses. But I'm not sure if he still lives there. I ran into Norman in the summer of 1998 at the C. B. Caudill Store in Blackey, Kentucky, having never heard of him before (he had come to check in on Joe and Gaynell Begley). I stayed at the store and read one of Norman's short stories, which they had on hand in a book. Badagnani 00:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I understand, but Harry Caudill is dead. Prof. Norman can be reached through the University of Kentucky's English Department, though he is currently on leave.--Spacini 15:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
