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.

Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time Saga.

The Amazon show does not do it justice on my opinion, but it has been explained with how it's another turn of the wheel and a "what if"

And Brandon Sanderson, who wrapped the series after Jordan died and is an amazing author himself.

Not only amazing, but also a freaking machine when it comes to churning out books.
