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.

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.

Anyone mentioned John Boyne yet?

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was really a YA book, but some of his other stuff is world class. A Ladder to the Sky, Heart’s Invisible Furies etc
