I understand that major newspapers often have good reasons for not printing longish obituaries - as opposed to tiny death notices - for a few days - even a week.

But two and a half MONTHS, with the New York Times? What gives?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/books/suzy-mckee-charnas-dead.html

Yes, I see the date, but it's in today's hard copy.

Well, we know her as having written possibly the most "70s" sf book ever,
but was she generally well known? Did she hit the NYT bestsellers list?

I don't quite know how likely it is that her family paid a lot for a long obituary, but I'd assume that obscure writers don't get more than tiny death notices. (For those who couldn't see it, it's definitely an obituary.)

There will always be those who don't read SF novels at all and who don't even recognize authors' names, but that doesn't make the authors less important.

I once read an assertion that "every book makes the NYT bestsellers
list" -- the reason being that they (allegedly) have so many lists
that there are plenty of slots to go 'round.
--
"In this connexion, unquestionably the most significant
development was the disintegration, under Christian
influence, of classical conceptions of the family and
of family right."
