I've provided a plot synopsis and a couple of comments on the theme. Just read the book tonight & feel a bit hammered by it. Will quote a couple of passages later (within fair use, natch). --Andersonblog
Thank you. Although I haven't read the book, I was vexed that there was such a tichy write-up. Nedlum 23:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Run, Rabbit, Run
Referenced both in the novel "Watership Down" by Richard Adams as well as the song "Time" off of the Pink Floyd album, The Dark Side of the Moon.
Actually, it's referenced in Speak to Me/Breathe from DSOTM, two song before Time.
[edit] ISBN?
No ISBN #? --Diogenes00 03:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Film
Should anyone know where the film can be found, I would be very grateful to hear from them.Zigzig20s 19:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] expand
Should there be a subsection with the characters, another subsection with the main themes, another section on onomastics perhaps? I am not sure what the guidelines from the Wikiproject Novels are - nor do I know where they can be found...Zigzig20s 17:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/ArticleTemplate. Be careful where you tread with the themes/onomastics, however; this article already has issues with correct citations/reliable sources. I've been meaning to tag it as such. María: (habla conmigo) 18:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks...Nearly everything is referenced though? (Well, the plot wouldn't be.) I could add more - which I partly tried to do - but my notes from lectures are not necessarily referenced, so it's too bad...Zigzig20s 18:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nearly everything is referenced, yes, and I've just semi-formatted the refs so that the titles are displayed. I think it's just a matter of research in context of the novel, and backing up claims. I'd love to see the article expanded, though, so if you feel you're up to it, I'll help in the technical area if you need it. María: (habla conmigo) 18:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I suppose we could add a subsection on characters. But I couldn't tell on which page they first appear, and I may not remember all the characters...Basically I could add a list of the main characters - but that may look slightly shoddy - still, that could be a start...Ideally we would need a couple of quotes with page references to back up a short description of who they are...As for onomastics and the main themes, I couldn't tell you the references so I guess that's too bad - well, I do have the list of books from which I found the info, but I don't know which specific book I took the info from, etc...Also, I wish you put back the link to the New York Times review in the 'external links' subhead, as it was - people might not want to look at the references, but they might want to read this review - the only review on this specific book that I found online.Zigzig20s 18:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- From Wikipedia:External links: "Sites that have been used as references in the creation of an article should be linked in a references section, not an external links section." Also, character descriptions do not usually require sources because the source material should be the novel itself. Something general like "Bob is the husband of Anne who hates the next door neighbors" is fine, but if it were "Bob is the husband of Anne who hates the next door neighbors, which some critics interpret as being a result of their bad sex life," then that would require a source. See what I'm saying? It may help to look at other novel articles, especially ones that are rated B and higher. María: (habla conmigo) 18:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mid Importance?
This is a key twentieth century novel and deserves a higher importance ranking than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.68.36.119 (talk) 08:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Present Tense
One of the first written in the present tense? Faulkner's As I Lay Dying was in the present tense and was written thirty years earlier. Especially for such a young art form, thirty years is a good chunk of time. And I'd guess I could find plenty of even earlier examples, too. Hm. But that quote on the present tense is still useful. Someone wanna incorporate it without the additional, false claim? It's too late and I'm tired. Chicopac (talk) 07:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
