Pleonasm?
[edit]Hollinghurst is the author of four novels: The Swimming Pool Library (1988), The Folding Star (1994), The Spell (1998), and The Line of Beauty (2004), the latter of which was awarded the 2004 Man Booker Prize for outstanding fiction written in the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland.
Does anyone think the above block of text is somewhat redundant given that there is another (more extensive) list of Hollinghurst's works straight after it? The bit about The Line of Beauty winning the Man Booker Prize is fine - I just think the rest is a little pointless.
