Has there ever been an author who's first novel is their best?

arguably Ray Bradbury.

His first novel was "The Martian Chronicles" which was really just a collection of short stories put into chronological order. All the shit he's writing now is awful and nobody reads it. He's trying to imitate Hemingway or something, it's horrible.
