This sounds like a very interesting contemporary novel, so I'm glad that it's been given so much attention. The article is well written, competently sourced, stable, neutral and sufficiently illustrated with one free and one fair use image (with rationale listed). Great work!
Although length isn't part of the GA criteria (and I quite like shorter, more succinct articles), I fear that it isn't broad enough in its coverage just yet. All novels are different so I don't like to point to the Novels WikiProject article template and tell people to go from there, but it would help give you some idea of what could potentially be added. Some suggestions:
I'm going to put this on hold for a week or so to let some of the suggestions above marinade. I hope to see the article expand and grow, because with a little more attention paid to literary and notability particulars, this is definitely GA material. I look forward to learning more about this novel! :) If you have any questions just contact me on my talk page. María ( habla con migo) 13:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to revisit the idea of deleting the author section. Not from any principle, but because this particular bio note is several years out of date (it also contained factual errors, since fixed). There seems little point in updating it further since there is already a fuller article, but I don't think it should be left as is as it gives an incomplete idea of Whitehead's career. If there are no objections, I will remove it within the next week or so. — scribbling woman 04:52, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
