Which short story writer do you think deserves way more recognition than they currently get

[LokiDrifter]

Some short story writers achieve genuinely widespread recognition, becoming staples of school curriculums and literary anthologies everywhere, while others produce work of an equally high standard but somehow remain relatively obscure outside of dedicated literary circles, often for reasons that have very little to do with the actual quality of their writing and far more to do with timing, marketing, translation availability, or simply which specific literary trends happened to be fashionable when their work was first published.

Discovering an underrated short story writer can feel like a genuinely exciting personal find precisely because so few other people seem to have encountered them, even though their work might genuinely stand shoulder to shoulder with far more famous names in the same genre or tradition. Who is the short story writer you think genuinely deserves significantly more recognition than they currently get, and what should someone read first to understand why?

Lucia Berlin deserves so much more mainstream recognition, her collection A Manual for Cleaning Women is genuinely one of the best short story collections I have ever read and barely anyone I know has actually heard of her.

[Dragon49]

Katherine Mansfield is criminally underrated given how influential her actual technique has been on the modern short story form as we know it today.

[GhostRider63]

Shirley Jackson gets some recognition purely for The Lottery but her wider body of short fiction is genuinely underrated compared to how well known that single story is.

[SoloOrca]

Yasunari Kawabata deserves way more attention outside of dedicated literary circles, his short pieces manage to say more in a few pages than most novels manage in three hundred.

Raymond Carver's influence on modern minimalist short fiction is enormous but I rarely see him mentioned in casual conversation the way more famous novelists constantly are

[ReasoningCore87]

Alice Munro gets some recognition through her Nobel Prize but I still think her actual short stories are underread relative to how genuinely brilliant they consistently are
