Citation removed[edit]

The links listed below are dead links and/or irrelevant. Therefore, they should no longer be incorporated into the main article. Furthermore the links do not conform to Wikipedia guidelines for citations.

These links only provide a directory link to a page at the Economist Magazine which is absolutely NOT a citable item. Furthermore this link only purports to link to a podcast that is no longer available (as far as I can determine). There is no evidence on the web that Fiametta Rocco said that Ferris’s 2nd novel was the best novel she had read in a decade. Below are the dead links that were listed in the main article’s page that I removed. If anyone can find these sources, then we can restore it to this page:

journalist listing for Fiametta Rocco Editor of Books and Arts at The Economist, called it "the best new novel I have read in the past ten years."
