Stephanie, A couple of things jumped out at me that you may want to consider. "Best" is a subjective term and I think you'll have a hard time getting anyone to agree on what is best. I, for example, may prefer Hejira over Don Juan, but that by no means makes DJRD inferior to Hejira. Secondly, Joni's career is not over as far as I know, so you may want to relabel "beginning" and "end" as "early" and "later" or something to that effect.
Good luck with your paper!
