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’d second all three.

Neil Gaiman is absolutely one of my favorite authors and from what I’ve seen, a pretty great human being as well.

American Gods and Neverwhere are classics. Neil Gaiman’s place on this list is assured and well deserved.

Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.

I love it too, but American Gods is it’s wellspring.

Honestly, Stardust is probably my favorite of his.
