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.

Stephen King is definitely a great author

Agreed. I recently read 11/22/63, and even though I’m European with not that much interest in American history, the way King tells his story kept me hooked all the way through the book, truly an amazing author

Stephen King is an amazing story creator. I think his actual writing is awful though. Apparently he was so coked out and drunk that he doesn’t even remember writing Cujo. It shows in the repetitiveness and ramblings in his writing.
