It's difficult enough to make it as a professional writer. Probably microfractions of a percent.
It's even more difficult to win major awards, like an Oscar. Probably microfractions of a percent of the professionals.

weeeeeeel...not exactly... Leonardo Sciascia wrote Il Giorno Della Civetta a few years before. That's the seminal novel for that genre... and of great importance in Italian literature since it was the first novel to admit in print the mafia existed. Up until then it was ... umma umma.
