More about what he's noted for?[edit]

Hi! I'm unfamiliar with this author, so I can't do this myself, but I'd love to see the opening paragraph explain what he's noted for. If you take a look at the openings to James Thurber and John Steinbeck you'll see what I mean. Thanks, William Pietri 18:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a bit of updating; will likely do some more later.-Bri 20:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great. That's definitely a step forward. Thanks, William Pietri 14:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

@William Pietri: You're question is old but here is a quote from a recent news article[1] that helps identify his contributions to society:

"Lest you think that this individual barred from school property must be some felonious gun toting, drug selling, rabble rousing, drunken, foul mouthed gang recruiter named ‘Clyde Edgerton,’ I should point out up front that it’s the University of North Carolina at Wilmington Kenan Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing, and North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame author of Rainey, Walking Across Egypt, The Floatplane Notebooks, Killer Diller, In Memory of Junior, and on and on including the Papadaddy’s Book for New Fathers: Advice to Dads of All Ages Clyde Edgerton, the amazingly artistic painter guitarist, and astute banjo player Clyde Edgerton—yeah, the Renaissance Man Who Chooses To Live in small beautiful Wilmington Clyde Edgerton, one of the few people in the state or the nation whose mere presence on county school property would be in itself an education for all the students who beheld him or had the chance to interact with him. That’s the one who has been banned from ever setting foot again on school grounds in our county."

Pronunciation of last name[edit]

How do you say his last name? I'd been saying it like the word edge, but then I heard other people say it like Edgar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.5.145 (talk) 14:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
