Read the entire collected works of any of the historically "great" writers. Dickens, Twain, Poe, Shakespeare, etc. They didn't write great books because they were great writers. They wrote great books because they wrote a lot and, by the law of averages, some of it was good. Most of their stuff is utter crap... but most people don't read all that crap so their cultural image is overly polished. In 150 years, Stephen Kind will probably be viewed much the same way.
