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.

I always enjoyed reading Michael Crichton. He might not have been the greatest novelist, but I liked his ideas and always learned a ton reading his books.
