One Hit Novel Wonders

Times UK list of 10 authors “for whom one novel proved quite enough.” One of the books on the list is an all time favorite novel of mine:

John Kennedy Toole – A Confederacy of Dunces

The author committed suicide in 1969, having given up hope of seeing his comic masterpiece in print. Eventually it was published in 1980.
