editI just finished the book after I heard good reviews about it on Fresh Air NPR. I am very much impressed by the author. I am trying to collect more information about the author so have created this stub at this time. Please do not remove the article.

Name Change
editHow to change the title of this page? I think the name should appear as Alex Von Tunzelmann the current name is with a lower case v —Preceding unsigned comment added by N2271 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Normally German names with "von" use the lower case for the "von." Is there some information that you have that directs otherwise? VirginiaProp 16:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Her website - http://www.alexvontunzelmann.com/Home.html - does not capitalise the "von". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.0.207 (talk) 20:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Researcher?
editThe lede section currently claims that "Tunzelmann has worked primarily as a researcher." This is unsourced and not supported by the body of the article: the "Career" section is entirely about her work as a writer not a researcher. Much of her writing is of course based on research, some of which may be original and by herself (although I note that her latest book, Fallen Idols, includes in the acknowledgements the names of 6 research assistants). There's nothing in the article to suggest that she's particularly known for her original research, and nothing to suggest that she's ever worked as a pure researcher, tracking down material for somebody else to write up and analyse. So as far as I can see, the statement is pretty meaningless and misleading. I'm therefore going to remove it. If anyone disagrees, please provide explanation and sources.
