Top 20th/21st century writers

Tags: 
  • William Faulkner--maybe I just understand him because I was raised in Mississippi, but he really stretched the boundaries of what the novel (or prose for that matter) could do
  • T.S. Eliot
  • Kurt Vonnegut--His twisted sense of humor reflects the most bizarre parts of our world
  • Virginia Woolf
  • C.S. Lewis
  • F. Scott Fitzgerald--he's right, you know: the very rich are different from you and me.
  • Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  • Bono--ok, ok, a SONG writer, but his lyrics really hit some of the core issues and feelings basic to humanity
