Good starting guess, though.

Prufrock marked the start of T.S. Eliot's career. 
Letter is considered one of the forerunners of modern detective stories, although not the first by Poe.
Brothers is the first novel by Dostoyevsky.
Bananafish is the first of Salinger's stories to feature the fictional Glass family.

Status: offline 		Sorry--The Brothers Karamazov was Dostoyevsky's last novel.

But speaking of first--the commonality is evident right from the first page.

The Quartet again:

The Purloined Letter
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
A Perfect Day for Bananafish
[Note--I guess more accurately I should have said Nine Stories, by J. D. Salinger--A Perfect Day for Bananafish is the first story of that collection. So I mean the first page of the collection, Nine Stories. Sorry if I've accidentally misled. I just wanted to direct your attention to the beginning of that work.]
The Brothers Karamazov

Status: offline 		AND since I should have said Nine Stories, meaning the collection, not each individually, here's another hint:

You don't need your charts and graphs to solve this one. Only a certain kind of "graph."

And we have a winner!

Yes, they each start with an epigraph informing the work: Seneca for Poe, Dante's Inferno for Eliot, a Zen koan for Salinger, and the Gospel of John for Dostoyevsky.

Fluffy's turn to compose a quartet.
