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.

Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time Saga.

The Amazon show does not do it justice on my opinion, but it has been explained with how it’s another turn of the wheel and a “what if”

And Brandon Sanderson, who wrapped the series after Jordan died and is an amazing author himself.

Not only amazing, but also a freaking machine when it comes to churning out books.

another turn of the wheel is such a fucking cop out. it’s just poorly written dreck. they massacred the story, but at least we got a whole episode about the death of some nameless warder and how sad it made Lan.
