 From Yesterday's "New York Observer":
by Leon Neyfakh:

	 . . .The start of 1985 saw Don Delillo’s White Noise and
	Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian published in the space of a
	few weeks. The next time it happened was 1997, when Delillo’s
	Underworld, Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon, Haruki Marukami’s The
	Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and Roth’s American Pastoral were
	published within months of each other. The last instance any of
	the people interviewed for this article brought up was the fall of
	2006, which saw the publication of Eggers’What is the What,
	Richard Ford’s The Lay of the Land, Powers’ The Echo Maker,
	Atwood’s Moral Disorder, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Claire
	Messud’s The Emperor’s Children, and Chimamanda Adichie’s
	Half of a Yellow Sun.
