Name any decent writers who wrote (not published) their first work before the age of 30

Name any decent writers who wrote (not published) their first work before the age of 30.

>Poe

Most of his poetry is from his early twenties

Keats, Chatterton, Shelley

James Joyce was 22 when he published Dubliners and 24 when he published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. What's your fucking excuse?

OP here, alright, let's narrow this down a little. How about contemporaries? Or people born after 1899.

No way lol, pretty sure he wrote The Dead in 1907 which would have made him ~25 and then it took him forever to get Dubliners published.

Hemmmingway
Fitzgerald
Mailer
Styron
Baldwin

Are non-burgers even trying?

Emil Cioran and Mircea Eliade.

>inb4 "decent"

He was 34 or 36 when he finished A Protrait
