Better Photo

Hi, everyone! The German version has a better picture of him but unfortunately I don't know how to embed it here. Maybe someone could do that? The image is that one: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Boyle-Vienna.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.114.166.7 (talk) 19:38, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On 8 April 2003, User:ArthurFrayn moved this page here from T.C. Boyle. Boyle himself stated some time ago that he was dropping his middle name in favour of the two initials. His new books are all published under "T.C. Boyle". KF 23:25 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

Well, he's still publishing short stories as "T. Coraghessan Boyle," as evidenced by one of his in the October 15, 2007, edition of The New Yorker[1], so your source here seems suspect.71.162.248.100 18:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's another of his stories with the "T. Coraghessan Boyle" byline in this week's (April 2008) New Yorker.--76.93.42.50 (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do you pronounce the middle name?--76.93.42.50 (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is he gay or not? The article doesn't specify. Andrew Carlssin 22:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And how is that relevant? The article also doesn't specify whether he's left-handed or enjoys salsa, probably because that's irrelevant, too. As long as you've raised the issue, however, as it seems terribly important to you, Boyle is married with quite a few children. 71.162.248.100 18:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone who is biographed in Wikipedia is considered LGBT unless proven otherwise. I look forward to the day when shoplifters, voyeurs, and people from the Andoola Islands are also given their fair rights and their freedoms.98.110.35.22 (talk) 23:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Leonard Pinocchio[reply]

Copyright problem

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 06:22, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Literary characteristics

This sentence seem to hang on it's own -- not sure what literary characteristic it conveys or in general why these 3 novels are called out:

His novels include World's End (1987, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction); The Road to Wellville (1993); and The Tortilla Curtain (1995, winner of France's Prix Médicis étranger).^{[citation needed]} 207.237.89.173 (talk) 17:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the sentence. It seems to be out of place as it doesn't talk about any characteristics, and the CN tag was added in 2010 and evidently never addressed. If someone wishes to re-add it, they can do so if they can make it more organic with the rest of the text. DonIago (talk) 18:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
