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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Haruki Murakami. I've liked everything he's written up to 1Q84. I'm sure his newer stuff is good too I just haven't caught up to them yet lol
If you want something more like hard sci-fi/cyberpunk, I recommend the Otherland series by Tad Williams. It's seriously probably the best modern sci-fi I've ever read
Have you read the expanse and if so, is it better than the expanse?
I have not read The Expanse yet, but it looks like a good series!
Its absolutely incredible IMO. Was hoping you had to compare it. Guess I'll just have for ead other land and decide for myself. What a shame lol.
I have read the first book of the Expanse. I liked it but didn't find any connection to Murakami, perhaps in later novels?
I have no idea what you've just said
I have read the first book of The Expanse, known as Leviathan Wakes. While reading it, I did not discover any connections to Haruki Murakami insofar as the writing nor the way he works a metaphor. I liked reading Murakami a lot; The Expanse not as much. But perhaps in later novels of The Expanse I shall?
