JESUS! Talk about a prolific writer! Is she considered an "A-List" writer by academics and the literary establishment or a bit sub-par? --205.188.117.8 08:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- That depends on who you talk to. She is often brought up by among some as a good canadidate for the next American Nobel laureate for literature, but that has been the speculate since before Toni Morrison received hers. Other, in the camp to which I belong, find her work of a passable but not great quality. However, she has received some critical acclaim, including a National Book Award for the novel them, The PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence. Oprah brought to a large audience with choosing We Were the Mulvaneys for he book club. --chemica 05:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
