This is incorrect. For my first hint, I would recommend some questions regarding the genre of the author's writings.

This is correct! Despite his repulsive racism and his cat’s name, H. P. Lovecraft has written some of my favorite stories. I was worried the “primarily a novelist” would put a kink in this… so I’m glad you got it! Congrats

It required me browsing Wikipedia's List of American novelists with Ctrl-F "(18" until I found someone extremely famous, but I got it.
Next thread will be up soon.
