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.

Vonnegut is wonderful but his first book is 1950s and his greatest success is likely the 1960s. Question asked post 1970.

Yeah, I knew he started in the 50s. But you’re right, I looked it up and some of his notable stuff was earlier than I thought
