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.

Australian author Peter Corris. Over 40 years or so, he wrote a lot of Australian non-fiction, including a ~~n auto~~ biography of eye surgeon Fred Hollows, many Australian fiction books including The Winning Side (personally I think this is/should be a classic of Australian literature); and the Cliff Hardy series of Sydney-noir detective books.

Edit: thanks to those that corrected me
