Not having been trumpeted; without fanfare.
Quietly, faithfully, their late-paid, ill-paid or altogether unpaid works go into the world untrumpeted, unreviewed and unbought, to give the lie to the fallacy denounced by Annie Dillard a quarter-century ago: “that the novelists of whom we have heard are the novelists we have.”
