I would have said Pynchon, but I found his latest to be disappointing.
Sparrow mentions McEwan. My impressions of him are mixed. I listened to the audio version of Amsterdam, which was an unsual experience. I liked it early on, as I found the characters and situations interesting. About half way or so through, I started to think "O no, I hope this isn't going where I think it is." Unfortunately, it was. It had the gimmicky ending I saw coming a mile away.
I haven't read, or listened to, anything else by McEwan. I saw the film Atonement and loved it. So I'm willing to give him a second chance.
Sparrow also mentions Trevor. I've read very little of his work but based on that little he strikes me as being a master craftsman.
Ea mentions A.S. Byatt. I regret to say I have read only Possession which is superb. Thanks to Ea for reminding me I need to read the rest of her work.
To kennyc, and several others: What's with all these dead guys? That hardly seems responsive. Are you trying to hijack this thread?
