Is there another way? In 2018, the obituary section for the Times introduced a new series, “Overlooked” (also known as “Overlooked No More”) to acknowledge the lives of “remarkable people” beyond primarily white men, who had been the most frequent subjects of obituaries since 1851. The “Overlooked” series is designed to serve as a historical corrective. Perhaps a similar approach could be taken to address present-day oversights concerning novelists.
