If they weren't well known authors, we wouldn't know them.

(also, the nationality thing is actually kind of a shitty way to get us to post obscure authors; we're way more likely to know obscure authors in countries where we know a lot of literature, whereas in countries that we're unfamiliar with we probably are only going to post very well known names)
