"All were passed over in favor of novels by middle-level writers (such as Wolfe and Card) and by new writers (such as Gibson, Kennedy, Morrow, and Atwood)"

This is especially funny in retrospect. Card and Wolfe would not be considered "middle-level" in a few more years, and Gibson and Atwood became superstars shortly as well.
