The background and style sections look a bit thin and make me wonder if the article is sufficiently "broad in its coverage". I wondered if these can be expanded at all? There might be some review comments about the style of his writing that could be included in that section for instance. But then

Sorry about the review; I didn't see the DYK nom above before doing the article. Chocmilk03 was right in the issues with the article, but I honestly wish you the best of luck in completing the article - we don't have enough coverage of minority cultures, so any article like this is so important;

The "Style" section either needs large expansion into a full "Analysis" section, or merging into "Reception". There's no point of having a section that's two sentences long.
772:
The plot needs a copyedit to be a bit more cohesive; it contains analysis, which it really shouldn't. I'd aim for 400-500 words, honestly more if you have the book to hand.
