This is a sly way for me to introduce an author or two that was writing in this period but didn't publish specifically in 1929. I am ducking through the fence and hoping citizenkelly allows this 'expansion' of the criteria.
First mention is Thomas Mann who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1929. As I am supposed to be reading all this author has to offer, I am throwing his name into the group for good measure. I haven't got through a quarter of his works, so the goal is not going very well.

Actually I stand corrected, because he did write a novella in 1929: Mario and the Magician (Mario und der Zauberer), novella.
Looking at Wikipedia here I realize I will NEVER be able to read all his works.

Nella Larson, whose Passing was published in 1929, won a Harmon Foundation bronze medal that year.

Here is another award given in 1929 to Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977). He was awarded the prestigious German award The Georg Büchner Prize (German: Georg-Büchner-Preis).
FROM WiKI:
"This is the most important literary prize of Germany. It was created in 1923 in memory of Georg Büchner and was only given to artists who came from or were closely tied to Büchner's home of Hesse. It was given to visual artists, poets, actors, and singers.
In 1951, the prize changed to a general literary prize, given yearly by the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung. It goes to German language authors, and the annual speech by the recipient takes place in Darmstadt. Since 2002, the prize has been endowed with 40,000 euros."
Of course, in my great ignorance, I have never heard of this author!!!

Thanks for those names, Pam. I think the world has only really gone 'Prize Mad' in the last few decades and most of the prizes do not reach back to 1929.
I have heard of NONE of the above authors (except Mann of course) - whether that is because of my ignorance or speaks to the idea that current bestseller lists and longevity are not compatible, I don't know.
