J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 485 comments I heard this audiobook some time ago:

Saïd Sayrafiezadeh Reads “A, S, D, F”
https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the...

Where Said Sayrafiezadeh reads his story “A, S, D, F”

It used to be this book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
but author name has it has been renamed to NOT A BOOK.

This must be a mistake? Saïd Sayrafiezadeh is a real author and audiobooks are considered valid books

Goodreads considers the following to be valid book records:
* audio productions of books
* podcasts that are a reading/narration of a book’s content
Source: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Can author name be changed back to Said Sayrafiezadeh ?

Thank you.

Individual stories only published as parts of magazines (such as the New Yorker) should not be added to Goodreads individually and are NOT A BOOK'd (or deleted, if they have no reviews) when found.

J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 485 comments But this one was not only published in a magazine, but also as a audiobook, see
https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the...
And audiobooks are valid.

Podcasts are only considered books on Goodreads if they are a reading of a valid book.

J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 485 comments Do you have a source for that? Librarian Manual?
