I mean, if you took a basic look at her Wikipedia you'll see that she had won a Pulitzer and a NOBEL PRIZE before Oprah recommended any of her books.
It's okay that you don't know who someone is, but there's no need to denigrate an artist or question their bonafides because you don't know who they are.

>I've never even heard of her and none of their works sound remotely familiar
Right in my original comment...
It looks like she's mostly known because 4 of her works were featured by Oprah's book club. I generally don't base my reading list off of the recommendation of day time talk show hosts that have an intended audience of middle-aged women, largely house wives/stay at home mothers.
