This quote suggests that the public had a positive reaction to Shirley Jackson's story "The Lottery." Despite it not being her first published story and her not expecting it to be a standout piece, the quote implies that the story had a significant impact on readers and cemented Jackson's reputation as a writer. The mention of people not forgetting her name indicates that "The Lottery" had a lasting impression on its audience.
