the author is a Nobelist, and any substantial work of his is notable. Even some or many individual essays might be. I do not think we should necessarily extend it to collections of essays, unless they've been as a collection the subject of critical comment that discusses the collection as such. I think that's going to be very rare, tho it can happen. DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC) reply
