User:Tenebrae removed the chapter summary listing. I reinserted it. WP:PLOT gives some information about summarizing books. I feel that this table is a reasonable presentation at summarizing the content of this book. Tenebrae is correct in saying in the edit history that this article is about an author and not a book, but the alternative is to have separate stub articles for the book and the author or to move this biography to an article on the book, which I think is less useful.
The precedent on English Wikipedia is to accept a short but thorough summary of the contents of books. See Harry_Potter_and_the_Philosopher's_Stone#Plot for an example in fiction. It is correct that few people write summaries of nonfiction books, but I feel that this is useful. Blue Rasberry (talk) 09:56, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
