An American novelist and professor, 55, is profiled in multiple outlets describing how her career took a sudden turn after a period of struggle. She is the author of four novels. Her earlier work, *An American Marriage*, won the Women’s Prize and was selected for Oprah’s Book Club. The articles also say her latest novel, *Kin*, is another selection by Oprah’s Book Club. The profile focuses on the contrast between a reported moment when she was told her writing career was “done” and the subsequent, faster-than-expected change in attention and success over roughly 48 hours. While the coverage shares the same core biographical details—age, profession, the number of novels, and the awards and book-club selections—it does not present additional, differing specifics about the setback itself. Overall, the reports emphasize her established literary credentials and the renewed visibility brought by *Kin* becoming an Oprah pick, framed as a rapid shift following earlier discouragement.
