I don't know. There are some pretty big names on the list of WFA winners, including George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Lois McMaster Bujold, Stephen King...

But that's not really the relevant question for what we're talking about, is it? Those people are popular, well-known authors who also happened to win a World Fantasy Award.

The more relevant question - I think - is on the other end, how well-known Angela Slatter, or Anna Smaill, or Sean Stewart, or Sofia Samatar are. And whether or not you would call those writers "obscure", there's definitely a significant difference between any of them, and any of the writers you listed.

Do you think Patricia McKillip's fame and career is on the same level as the writers you listed?

No, of course not.

Listen, if you want to say that McKillip isn't obscure, fine - I think it's a subjective thing to a certain extent, regardless. I just don't think having won a World Fantasy Award really proves it one way or the other.

I admit, I was being a little flippant when I mentioned the World Fantasy Award. I don't think that's the only metric by which one can judge who is and isn't obscure. But I don't think Patricia McKillip is an obscure author.
