I sure know:
Go to this resource: http://dbpedia.org/sparql

and put the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT ?a WHERE {
?a dcterms:subject category:1942_deaths;
   rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Writer} LIMIT 1000

if however you want to see all the writers who died before 1942, it's
better to do like that:

select distinct ?a where {
?a dbpedia-owl:deathDate ?deathDate;
   rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Writer
FILTER (?deathDate<"1942-01-01"^^xsd:date)} LIMIT 1000
