Some of my pics have been already mentioned, so I will only add new ones:
- Sue Grafton (I think she will be viewed as a latter-day Christie)
- Douglas Coupland (I am a maybe on him; he may be too pop-cult for longevity)
- J.M. Coetzee (Nobel winner and vastly under-rated outside his own country)
- Michael Ondaatje (has the most staying power of the Canadian literary fiction mob)
- Alice Munro (a mater of the short story form)
- John Irving (maybe)
- Nora Roberts (our generation's Mary Roberts Rinehart---high-end, plentiful pulp)
