Interesting novel, on fine-looking sources, AGF to almost all of them - in Polish and Hungarian. I prefer the first hook idea, but wonder if can say more precisely that it was the first of his works published by a main publisher? In the article: I don't think "mainstream" needs a link, wonder if "that year in" is missing, and think "irritingly" may be a typo. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, C/e done. On a side note, take a look at my recent edits related to the concept of mainstream literature, you may find it of interest (that link didn't even exist until I made it few days ago...see also my comment at Talk:Literary fiction). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:56, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

great! so how about including that link in the original hook (ALT0a below please), or some other way of saying what exactly the vague "growing recognistion" means. I am afraid (after recent discussions) that ALT1 might be seen as too much about plot (although I don't think so). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, I can't figure out how to add this to the lead, but I think it's ok to let the reader find out more details in the article. If the hook explains everything, the click-throughs may suffer :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:17, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

the author's wish is my command. Original by far preferred. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
