She published Gone with the Wind in 1936 and was awarded the Pulitzer a year later. It is generally described as the only novel she ever wrote, but that isn't actually true. Like Toole, she wrote another book as a teenager. Lost Laysen was a romance novella that she gave to a boyfriend, and it remained undiscovered for decades.
