It's Shirley Jackson's Moment, And She's Still Underrated

From ArtsJournal via Salon:

A contemporary of the mid-20th century's 'jostling alpha males,' Jackson 'was the bard of the domestic nightmare..., of people who were trapped, excluded, usurped and pushed in a corner to wither away unnoticed. If there was anything Homeric about her ... it was the serene pitilessness with which she dispensed their doom.'

I am sure she is underrated, but if Cather still isn't getting her due--and I just find that sad fact plain inexplicable--Shirley's SOL.
