Garrison Keillor is really strange to me career wise. He wrote exactly one outstanding novel - his first. Then ever after he wrote the same novel, only worse, and with more weird sex stuff. He also wrote very good (really!) poems early on, and then over time what he counts as poems is just aw-shucks Minnesota stuff. It's like he noped out of a lasting literary career for kitsch.
@Flux But he's rich! He even came out of retirements to do his kitsch show! There are other authors who only produce one good thing, but that's because there other things suck, not because they (as far as I can tell?) chose to do something easier.
