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.

For me The Name of the Rose is a real masterpiece. I enjoyed The Prague Cemetery as much as Foucault’s Pendulum but I’d personally put Baudolino before those two.

The Island of the Day Before was my first introduction and remains one of my favorites.
