I saw this article and thought it might be of interest.
"It's almost Pulitzer time again. The winners of the 2009 Pulitzer Prizes will be announced on April 20th. With the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction regarded as one of the highest awards a novel can receive, you would think winning one would ensure an enduring literary legacy. The winners enjoy their time in the limelight, but not all become the lasting classics one might expect. In some cases, the books even fade into obscurity. With the 2009 annoucement just around the corner, AbeBooks has compiled a list of the Top Ten Forgotten Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novels."

Well, we have at least one of those on our bookshelf! The Keepers of the House is a book my husband brought into our marriage. I haven't read it yet, though...
Whoa -- these ARE mostly forgotten. Kind of makes you feel humble. But I do recognize and have one on my list: Martin Dressler.
