Because it takes a long, long time for someone to get recognized all over the world, and you need like a million billion people and almost all the generations to buy your book before you can say it's a classic.

Because the classic era is considered to be those authors who wrote in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Works of art typically aren't considered classics until the creator has passed on.
This is true of various people from Van Gogh to Emily Dickenson, to many modern creators.

it is usually edicate that most litterary works of merit don't become great until a grace period of 40-50 years. and i mean these are the GOOD books, the ones that teachers teach out of.
