Arthur Koestler.

And a boatload of Soviet dissedent writers from Solzhenitsyn on down. I used to read them with fascination when the Soviet Union existed, but lost some interest when the novels become purely, or mostly, of historical interest.
'A Tale of Two Cities' is damn near unreadable.

But then I think Dickens is almost as bad as Shakespeare who - as everyone ought to know - could not write dialogue.
