Part that cracked me up is how many of the not super famous ones I'd picked up but not gotten around to putting on my official list or that weren't near my list but I'd read something by the author.
Personally, I firmly thing Blanche McCrary Boyd should be represented on there. And Trash is the far better of Dorothy Allison's books and possibly more relevant to the list. There is also strong argument for Emma Donoghue. And at least Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson. Possibly one of Joanne Harris's books too though that's more iffy (I think you should read them though if you haven't...not because they're super deep and meaningful but because they're interesting fiction with a mix of whimsical and abraisive I rind really entertaining).
