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.
