Comments

You might consider linking some of the terms listed in the lead (racism, ...).

If any of the sites that describe the book as magical realism are reliable sources then it would be worth mentioning this.

Please wikilink Tordotcom in the infobox.

The publication details (publisher, format, date, ISBN) need to be stated in the text. WorldCat states that there is a print book, a large print book, and an eBook all from 2022, and a paperback edition from 2023. All have ISBNs. (Don't cite Worldcat; use it to cite each edition directly.)

Wild Hunt is a well-known folklore motif that Vo has chosen to reference; it should be linked, and may well need a gloss, even a cited context statement, somewhere. [2] Semel has her stating that having it showed the book was fantasy, which is a start.

She also eventually finds solidarity with - consider dropping "also" (nearly always redundant) and "eventually" (usually not much better).

It might be helpful to give dates for Shirley Jackson (1916–1965) as she died over 60 years ago.

explicit explanation - rather similar Latinate words, maybe edit.

The cover image in the lead has a proper NFUR.

Sources

All seem reliable.

Spotchecks:

[1] does not seem to verify she has described it as challenging to shift out of the writing mindset which shaped her earlier short stories? Perhaps you've placed the wrong ref here?

[3] says she liked Design for Living, not quite the same as admitting influence.

[2], [4], [5], [11], [12], [13] ok.

Summary

This well-written article is almost ready for GA, with just a few items to attend to, some of them basically just suggestions. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
