This is so untrue it's absurd. Unless you want to argue that people who only wrote one classic book were all by definition, great authors. No True Scotsman etc.

Otherwise:

Boris Pasternak
Ken Kesey
Jerome K Jerome
Aldous Huxley
Beerbohm
LP Hartley
B. Schlink

Replace "classic" with "great" like OP and then yes I agree completely (even though there are certainly writers whom you might not consider great still on that list)
