The Future Canon

In 2007, New York magazine sought the opinions of 12 English and Comparative Literature academics, asking "Which novels-and novelists-from the past several years will be taught in 50 years' time?". These are the results.
For the 4 authors who did not have specific works mentioned (Zadie Smith, J. M. Coetzee, Jonathan Lethem & Jhumpa Lahiri), I entered 2 or 3 of their more well-known works published before 2007.
