Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I'm really excited to see what Lemmy has.
