From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of stalled nominations for the Novels Collaboration of the Month. These candidates garnered little or no support over a period of at least six months from the date of nomination. Most project selections receive at least 3 nominations before they are selected. The novels nominated below have received no more than two votes of support (including the original nomination), and have been moved here to reduce clutter among current nominations. Should one of these novels receive a third vote of support, it should be transferred back to the active candidates list.

  • I'm a big fan, not his in his best work, but expanding any of Clancy's books deserve to be expanded. I think he is rather important to modern lit. Imasleepviking ( talk ) 01:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anna of the Five Towns

Anna of the Five Towns is a classic novel by Arnold Bennett. Published at the turn of the century and of some note but deserves more than a stub "Plot summary".

  • Gide's novels were, at the time, regarded as epochally pioneering works of modernism, and I personally find them inspiring and fascinating. I'm amazed to find so little coverage of them on Wikipedia and to see their priority ranked as "low."

[edit] Look Homeward, Angel

Look Homeward, Angel is Thomas Wolfe's first novel. Published in 1929, it is slightly autobiographical, and Wolfe uses the main character, Eugene Gant, as a stand-in for himself.

  • A two sentence article - a true stub. - Runch 16:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • In the 30s, Wolfe was regarded as a major novelist, in the first rank of Americans. Now, in the postmodern age, he is completely out of fashion due to his extravagantly anti-minimalist approach. This current judgment seems blatantly unfair and fashion-centric. In any case, Wolfe's historical importance is great -- and Angel deserves comprehensive treatment in any encyclopedia.

[edit] Flowers for Algernon

The 1966 science fiction novel (and play) by Daniel Keyes, and one that has been used in school curricula since I was in school. The novelette (of which the 1966 work is an expanded version) won a Hugo award for Best Short Fiction in 1960. --EncycloPetey 20:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
