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 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?
