In non-genre terms, I like:

Michael Ondatje (Slaughter, Skin of a Lion),
Ishiguro (Artist of the floating World, Remains of the Day),
Gatsby,
Chandler (yeah, I know he's genre),
Yoram Kaniut (Confessions of a Good Arab),
Kaletski (Metro),
Heirich Boll (The Clown),
Paul Auster writes well,
etc.

Can anyone who knows and likes some of these authors' works recommend anything else I might like? I do love literature, but I find so much of it a dull slog.
