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.

Jim Butcher. He sits firmly and unapologetically in his fantasy niche, so if that's not your thing you may be disappointed, but the man writes good dialogue and he can turn a phrase.

    I was sad that he wasn't mentioned yet. I cant think of books where the characters are so relatable as in Butchers works.

    I have read through the Dresden Files multiple times, each time being emotionally hooked on whata happening.

    Codex Alera is one of the greatest fantasy book series ever in my opinion
