The Little Red Chairs
- ... that the title of Edna O'Brien's 23rd book, The Little Red Chairs, refers to performance art commemorating the 11,541 victims of Radovan Karadzic? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

- Not a full review - Upon starting to review the article I immediately noticed that the article has a very large number of quotes within it (Earwigs also flags them) totaling over 25 at a quick count. I am concerned that that number is too high and that we are overusing non-free content. Mifter (talk) 05:12, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I don't see how it could be less quoty: I have never read the book, and most of the focus of the articles is on critical opinions (which necessarily requires quoting-- they are opinions after all). If you wanted to trim any of the quotes: I welcome that. But start articles for novels frequently start like this, and even Featured Articles on novels, have quote heavy opinion sections (see Moonraker_(novel)#Reception, The_Good_Terrorist#Reception and Tintin_in_Tibet#Reception).

- thanks for the response. I understand where you are coming from but am still not sure. In the interests of preventing this from sitting for a long period I'm asking for a second reviewer/opinion. Mifter (talk) 01:46, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
