Hello. Please avoid adding empty sections. This is a live encyclopedia and as such, it should look as professional as possible.

“Gilb’s fiction is the most exciting and emotionally draining since Raymond Carver’s.” —The Nation

“These are lovely, heartbreaking, finely crafted stories dealing with a portion of society literature scarcely ever reaches.” —Jim Harrison

“Gilb’s fiction is brutally realistic. Yet his characters are imbued with a wry sense of humor—and hope.” —Newsweek

“In stories both harsh and lovely, hopeful and heartbreaking, of men on the fringes of America, Dagoberto Gilb reveals a powerful new literary voice.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

“The vast stretch of desert between LA and El Paso is a migration route for workers who move back and forth in search of work. In these artfully written stories, Dago introduces us to this world and its workers. This is a sharp, realistic view from la frontera!” —Rudolfo Anaya

“Nobody but Dagoberto has the information and the talent to write these stories. He reminds me of the best of Russian literature. Chekhov writes Gogol. Fresh and funny and sad.” —James Crumley

“Gilb tells these stories almost matter-of-factly, but behind this casualness is a talent that delivers. He offers a fierce and relentless eyeballing of people who are not going to make it . . . There is no exit in these pages.” —Gary Soto

“Neither narrowly ethnic nor fashionably minimalist, these are Chekhovian stories about very un-Chekhovian lives: those of construction workers, bums, day laborers, month-to-month tenants, on-the-edge families, and other people who led marginal existence during the Reagan-Bush years.” —Wendy Lesser

Dagaberto Gilb's The Magic of Blood is a collection of short stories about proletarian life from a Chicano perspective.

Major themes prominent throughout Gilb's collection include: proletarian work and love, vacations, the family, friendships, youth and aging.

E. Annie Proulx mentions many of the collection's themes, "a Southwest world of bills and debts and being laid off, of old trucks, paychecks that bounce, greedy landladies, fights, cheap girls, drugs, unemployment compensation, difficult bosses, color of skin, language games, a hunger for work," in her citation for PEN's Ernest Hemingway Foundation Award.

I see you have added the blurb about the comparison to Carver that's on the cover. Carver has/had a reputation of being a working class writer. You also may want to take a look at some comparisons to works by Bukowski. Particularly "Factotum" & "Post Office". Probably two "working class" authors that may have influenced/informed the writing of MOB. I know Gilb's bio page mentions his intitial connection to Carver. Well anyway, good luck and I hope this helps some.

Good article review (see Wikipedia:What is a good article? for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   One image used (File:The.magic.of.blood.jpg) with a valid Fair Use rationale.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Comments:

   I understand this is part of a class project: User:Profhanley/teaching/literature of labor. I will make minor edits, as I see fit, and list major edits here for the editors to take care of. If these issues are addressed I will continue with the review.

1b. Per WP:LEAD, the lead section should provide a summary of the article content.

1a b. The Critical Reception section is just a list (Wikipedia:Embedded list)of quotes, and needs to be translated into well-written prose.

2a b. Full references are required for all the quotes. As an example, I provided the full reference for the Nation article [4] What publication Wendy Lesser and James Crumley quotes from?

2c. In "Themes" the article states Major themes prominent throughout Gilb's collection include: proletarian work and love, vacations, the family, friendships, youth and aging. This requires a reference (footnote).

2. Citations are also required in the Genre and Style sections to show where this information is coming from.

Conclusion

I am closing this review now. Due to the above issues the article currently does not meet the GA criteria.
