I do not know where best to put this, but this article could mention that Marian Keyes has appeared in a BBC Radio 4 comedy with Tara Flynn called "Between Ourselves". Vorbee ( talk) 17:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
I have grave concerns about the 'Views' section of this article. It does not appear encyclopedic at all. The whole section feels, if not OR, very deliberate cherry-picking to undermine the subject of the article, while also being very parochial in some of the examples given.
I'm minded to strike the whole section out, because none of the examples seem to have any significance either in themselves or on Keyes's work, and I'm deeply uncomfortable with the framing of the views on women writers, which seem to be deliberately framed to show her in the worst possible light, and thus veer dangerously close to POV statements.
Before I try and fix that section to be at least more even-handed, I thought I would at least mention the issue and my intentions on this Talk page, so that if any others think differently they can have their say. H. Carver ( talk) 04:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
It's pretty depressing that the largest paragraph in the style section is discussing the term "chick lit" and not, actually, any aspect of her style of as a writer. Wikipedia is actually exemplifying the sexism that Keyes criticises in her rejection of this term: it's impossible to imagine a discussion of the style of a male popular writer revolving around such a dismissive, gendered term. If the chick lit content belongs anywhere in this article (and I think it does, at least the quotation where she rejects the term) it's in the "views" section which now seems quite balanced, and where Keyes's views in this area are discussed.
