Comment: References 3, 4, and 8 may be enough to establish notability of this book. However, as written, the article consists mostly of a plot summary (unsourced) and a thematic analysis. The latter appears to be the author's own interpretation, as it is sourced mostly to direct quotes from the book and to an unrelated 1983 paper on bilingualism. This is WP:OR and not permissible on WP. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 13:52, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
